योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-87, verse-24

वासना चेह नास्त्येव साहंकारादिरूपिणी ।
असत्यैवोदिता मौर्ख्यान्मरुभूमाविवाम्बुधिः ॥ २४ ॥
vāsanā ceha nāstyeva sāhaṃkārādirūpiṇī ,
asatyaivoditā maurkhyānmarubhūmāvivāmbudhiḥ 24
24. vāsanā ca iha na asti eva sāhaṅkārādirūpiṇī asatyā
eva uditā maurkhyāt marubhūmāu iva ambudhiḥ
24. iha ca vāsanā sāhaṅkārādirūpiṇī eva na asti asatyā
eva maurkhyāt uditā marubhūmāu iva ambudhiḥ
24. And in this (state of realization), latent desires (vāsanā) that manifest as ego (ahaṅkāra) and similar forms truly do not exist. Such desires arise as unreal solely due to ignorance, just like an ocean appearing in a desert.
