योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-44, verse-32

अवस्त्वेव विकल्पात्म चित्तादि शशश्रृङ्गवत् ।
सर्वं तदात्मनस्तस्मात्तद्धि बोधाद्विलीयते ॥ ३२ ॥

avastveva vikalpātma cittādi śaśaśrṛṅgavat ,
sarvaṃ tadātmanastasmāttaddhi bodhādvilīyate 32

32. avastu eva vikalpa-ātma citta-ādi śaśa-śṛṅgavat
sarvam tat ātmanaḥ tasmāt tat hi bodhāt vilīyate

32. vikalpa-ātma citta-ādi avastu eva śaśa-śṛṅgavat
sarvam tat ātmanaḥ tasmāt tat hi bodhāt vilīyate

32. The mind (citta) and similar concepts, being products of mental constructs (vikalpa), are indeed unreal, like a hare's horn. All of this is fundamentally the Self (ātman). Therefore, that (illusory creation) certainly dissolves through true knowledge (bodha).
