योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-56, verse-17

रोध्यरोधकसंमोहं त्यक्त्वा खे विमलो भव ।
प्रवृत्तिरेव न व्योम्नः प्रवृत्तिश्चैव खात्मिका ॥ १७ ॥
rodhyarodhakasaṃmohaṃ tyaktvā khe vimalo bhava ,
pravṛttireva na vyomnaḥ pravṛttiścaiva khātmikā 17

pravṛttiḥ eva na vyomnaḥ pravṛttiḥ ca eva kha-ātmikā ||
17. rodhya-rodhaka-saṃmoham tyaktvā khe vimalaḥ bhava
vyomnaḥ pravṛttiḥ eva na pravṛttiḥ ca eva kha-ātmikā
17. Abandon the delusion of the obstructed and the obstructer. Become pure like space (khe). Activity (pravṛtti) certainly does not belong to (pure) space (vyoman), yet all activity is, in its essence, of the nature of space (khātman) itself.
