योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-137, verse-60

कारणाज्जगदुत्पन्नं न ब्रह्मेत्थमवस्थितम् ।
जगत्तया शान्तमजं बोध इत्येव तुर्यता ॥ ६० ॥
kāraṇājjagadutpannaṃ na brahmetthamavasthitam ,
jagattayā śāntamajaṃ bodha ityeva turyatā 60
60. kāraṇāt jagat utpannam na brahma ittham avasthitam.
jagat-tayā śāntam ajam bodhaḥ iti eva turyatā.
60. jagat kāraṇāt utpannam na [bhavati].
brahma ittham avasthitam na [bhavati].
jagat-tayā śāntam ajam [iti] bodhaḥ eva turyatā [asti].
60. The world (jagat) is not produced from a cause (kāraṇa), nor is (the ultimate reality, brahman) established in such a manner (as a cause or effect). The fourth state (turyatā) is precisely this understanding (bodha): that the world is inherently peaceful and unborn.
