योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-148, verse-13

यस्माद्ब्रह्मैव सर्वात्म सदेकमेव नेतरत् ।
तस्मात्किं नाम तत्सत्यं किमसत्यं च वा भवेत् ॥ १३ ॥

yasmādbrahmaiva sarvātma sadekameva netarat ,
tasmātkiṃ nāma tatsatyaṃ kimasatyaṃ ca vā bhavet 13

13. yasmāt brahma eva sarvātmā sat ekam eva na itarat
tasmāt kim nāma tat satyam kim asatyam ca vā bhavet

13. yasmāt brahma eva sarvātmā sat ekam eva,
itarat na; tasmāt kim nāma tat satyam,
kim ca vā asatyam bhavet?

13. Because Brahman (brahman) alone is the self (ātman) of all, being truly singular and not anything else, therefore, what indeed could be called real, and what unreal?
