योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-125, verse-74

yat nāma tasya jagat iti abhidhām vidhāya
sva-ātma eva mohitaḥ iva ayam aho nu māyā

74. Within the clear consciousness, which is like a sheath of space, the entire phenomenal world (dṛśya-jāta) rests silently, peaceful and dense like rock. When one attaches the name 'world' (jagat) to that, one's own Self (ātman) becomes as if deluded. Oh, what a powerful illusion (māyā) this is!
