योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-167, verse-4

अयमात्मा त्वियं ख्यातिरित्यन्तःकलनाभ्रमः ।
न संभवत्यतश्चैनं शब्दं त्यक्त्वा भवार्थभाक् ॥ ४ ॥

ayamātmā tviyaṃ khyātirityantaḥkalanābhramaḥ ,
na saṃbhavatyataścainaṃ śabdaṃ tyaktvā bhavārthabhāk 4

4. This is the soul, and this its title (that is giving a name to a nameless spiritual thing), is an erroneous conceit or coinage of the brain. The spirit admits of no expressions; therefore take heed of no word but mind its meaning.
