योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-101, verse-24

मरणं जीवितं तस्मान्न दुःखं न सुखं यतः ।
नास्त्येवैतच्चिदाकाशः किलेत्थमभिजृम्भते ॥ २४ ॥

maraṇaṃ jīvitaṃ tasmānna duḥkhaṃ na sukhaṃ yataḥ ,
nāstyevaitaccidākāśaḥ kiletthamabhijṛmbhate 24

24. maraṇam jīvitam tasmāt na duḥkham na sukham yataḥ na
asti eva etat cit-ākāśaḥ kila ittham abhijṛmbhate

24. tasmāt,
maraṇam jīvitam na duḥkham na sukham.
yataḥ etat cit-ākāśaḥ na asti eva.
kila ittham abhijṛmbhate.

24. Therefore, death and life are neither sorrow nor happiness. For this consciousness-space (cit-ākāśa) itself does not truly *exist* (as a bounded entity), rather, it is said, it manifests expansively in this manner.
