योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-68, verse-9

मनोमौनं पञ्चमं च तन्मृतौ काष्ठतापसे ।
भावे सुषुप्तमौनाख्यं जीवन्मुक्तोऽनुजीवति ॥ ९ ॥

manomaunaṃ pañcamaṃ ca tanmṛtau kāṣṭhatāpase ,
bhāve suṣuptamaunākhyaṃ jīvanmukto'nujīvati 9

9. manomaunam pañcamam ca tat mṛtau kāṣṭhatāpase
bhāve suṣuptamaunākhyam jīvanmuktaḥ anujīvati

9. manomaunam ca pañcamam tat mṛtau kāṣṭhatāpase
jīvanmuktaḥ bhāve suṣuptamaunākhyam anujīvati

9. And the fifth [type of silence] is mental silence (manomauna). That [inert mental silence] is like death for a 'log-like ascetic' (kāṣṭhatāpase). However, a liberated-in-life (jīvanmukta) experiences a state known as 'deep-sleep silence' (suṣuptamauna).

9. שתיקת החשיבה היא הסוג החמישי. כאשר החשיבה דועכת אצל המסגף הקשיח, ומגיעה למצב של קיום טהור, היא נקראת שתיקת השינה העמוקה, שבה חי המשוחרר בעודו בחיים.
