योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-149, verse-29

कार्यकारणमयक्रमोदितं स्वप्न एष चितिभानमात्रकं ।
जाग्रदाख्यमहतः स्वभावकं तेन शान्तमखिलं परं विदुः ॥ २९ ॥

kāryakāraṇamayakramoditaṃ svapna eṣa citibhānamātrakaṃ ,
jāgradākhyamahataḥ svabhāvakaṃ tena śāntamakhilaṃ paraṃ viduḥ 29

29. kārya-kāraṇa-maya-krama-uditam
svapnaḥ eṣaḥ citi-bhāna-mātra-kam
jāgrat-ākhyam ahataḥ svabhāvakam
tena śāntam akhilam param viduḥ

29. eṣaḥ svapnaḥ kārya-kāraṇa-maya-krama-uditam citi-bhāna-mātra-kam (ca asti).
jāgrat-ākhyam ahataḥ svabhāvakam (api asti).
tena akhilam param śāntam (iti) viduḥ.

29. This dream (svapna) state, which arises from a sequence of causes and effects, is merely an appearance within consciousness. Similarly, the so-called waking state (jāgrat) is also the intrinsic nature (svabhāva) of the imperishable (ahata). Therefore, (the wise) understand that the entire supreme reality is tranquil (śānta).

29. החלום הזה, המופיע ברצף של סיבה ותוצאה, אינו אלא הקרנה בלבד של התודעה הטהורה. מה שנראֵה כמצב ערות אינו פוגע בטבעה הבלתי מופרע, ולפיכך החכמים יודעים שהכול הוא השקט העליון.
