योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-6, chapter-90, verse-12

नायं स परमानन्दः सर्वत्यागो महोदयः ।
कोऽप्युच्चैरन्य एवासौ चिरसाध्यो महानिति ॥ १२ ॥

nāyaṃ sa paramānandaḥ sarvatyāgo mahodayaḥ ,
ko'pyuccairanya evāsau cirasādhyo mahāniti 12

12. na ayam sa paramānandaḥ sarvatyāgaḥ mahodayaḥ kaḥ
api uccaiḥ anyaḥ eva asau cirasādhyaḥ mahān iti

12. ayam sa paramānandaḥ sarvatyāgaḥ mahodayaḥ na.
asau kaḥ api uccaiḥ anyaḥ eva cirasādhyaḥ mahān iti.

12. This (state of being caught in vacillations) is not that supreme bliss (paramānanda) that consists of total renunciation (sarvatyāga) or great elevation (mahodaya). Rather, that (supreme bliss) is something entirely different, truly profound, great, and achievable only after a long period, so it is said.
