योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-11, verse-32

इत्यज्ञानात्मनो मोहो नच ज्ञानात्मनः क्वचित् ।
अज्ञस्य दुःखौघमयं ज्ञस्यानन्दमयं जगत् ॥ ३२ ॥
ityajñānātmano moho naca jñānātmanaḥ kvacit ,
ajñasya duḥkhaughamayaṃ jñasyānandamayaṃ jagat 32
32. iti ajñānātmanaḥ mohaḥ na ca jñānātmanaḥ kvacit
ajñasya duḥkhaughamayam jñasya ānandamayam jagat
32. iti ajñānātmanaḥ mohaḥ na ca jñānātmanaḥ kvacit
ajñasya jagat duḥkhaughamayam jñasya ānandamayam
32. Thus, delusion arises from the ignorant self (ātman), but never from the knowing self (ātman). For the ignorant one, the world is full of a flood of suffering; for the knowing one, it is full of bliss.
