योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-164, verse-6

यथैकद्रव्यनिष्ठे हि चित्तेऽन्यद्रव्यसंविदः ।
न भवन्ति परे तद्वन्नान्यास्तिष्ठन्ति संविदः ॥ ६ ॥

yathaikadravyaniṣṭhe hi citte'nyadravyasaṃvidaḥ ,
na bhavanti pare tadvannānyāstiṣṭhanti saṃvidaḥ 6

6. yathā ekadravyaniṣṭhe hi citte anyadravyasaṃvidaḥ | na
bhavanti pare tadvat na anyāḥ tiṣṭhanti saṃvidaḥ ||

6. yathā hi ekadravyaniṣṭhe citte anyadravyasaṃvidaḥ na bhavanti,
tadvat pare anyāḥ saṃvidaḥ na tiṣṭhanti

6. Just as, when the mind (citta) is entirely focused on a single object, cognitions related to other objects do not arise, similarly, in the Supreme (para) reality, no other perceptions persist.

6. כשם שכאשר החשיבה ממוקדת לחלוטין בעצם אחד, לא עולות בה תפיסות של עצמים אחרים, כך במציאות העליונה לא קיימות תפיסות נפרדות אחרות.
