योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-67, verse-30

स्पन्दोऽप्यस्पन्द एव स्यान्निःसंकल्पतया च ते ।
न स्पन्दास्पन्दयोर्भिन्ना संकल्परहितैव चित् ॥ ३० ॥

spando'pyaspanda eva syānniḥsaṃkalpatayā ca te ,
na spandāspandayorbhinnā saṃkalparahitaiva cit 30

30. spandaḥ api aspandaḥ eva syāt niḥsaṅkalpatayā ca te
na spanda-aspandayoḥ bhinnā saṅkalpa-rahitā eva cit

30. te niḥsaṅkalpatayā ca spandaḥ api aspandaḥ eva syāt.
cit spanda-aspandayoḥ na bhinnā (asti),
saṅkalpa-rahitā eva (asti).

30. Even vibration (spanda) would indeed be non-vibration, by virtue of your (consciousness') being without conceptualization (saṅkalpa). Consciousness (cit) is not different from vibration and non-vibration; it is indeed entirely devoid of conceptualization.

30. אפילו התנועה הופכת לשקט מוחלט כאשר היא נקייה מכל כוונה מחשבתית. התודעה, כשהיא חופשית מכל כוונה, אינה שונה בין תנועה לבין שקט.
