योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-165, verse-12

नानात्मभासुरमपि स्वप्ने शून्यं यथा जगत् ।
तथैव जाग्रत्यखिलं व्योमैवेदं चिदात्मकम् ॥ १२ ॥

nānātmabhāsuramapi svapne śūnyaṃ yathā jagat ,
tathaiva jāgratyakhilaṃ vyomaivedaṃ cidātmakam 12

12. nānā-ātma-bhāsuram api svapne śūnyam yathā jagat
tathā eva jāgrati akhilam vyoma eva idam cit-ātmakam

12. yathā svapne jagat nānā-ātma-bhāsuram api śūnyam
tathā eva jāgrati idam akhilam vyoma eva cit-ātmakam

12. Just as the world (jagat) in a dream (svapne), though shining forth with diverse forms, is ultimately void (śūnyam), similarly, in the waking state (jāgrati), this entire (akhilam) world is nothing but the luminous space (vyoma) whose intrinsic nature (ātman) is consciousness (cit).
