योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-168, verse-52

व्योम्न्येव कचति व्योम चिन्मये चिन्मयं हि यत् ।
बुद्धं तदेव तेनैव जगद्वोधात्क्व तज्जगत् ॥ ५२ ॥

vyomnyeva kacati vyoma cinmaye cinmayaṃ hi yat ,
buddhaṃ tadeva tenaiva jagadvodhātkva tajjagat 52

52. vyomni eva kacati vyoma cinmaye cinmayam hi yat
buddham tat eva tena eva jagat bodhāt kva tat jagat

52. hi yat cinmayam cinmaye kacati,
vyoma eva vyomni (yathā).
tat jagat tena eva buddham.
jagat bodhāt kva tat jagat?

52. Indeed, just as space (ākāśa) manifests within space itself, so too does consciousness (cinmaya) manifest within consciousness, for it is consciousness. That [world (jagat)] is understood solely by that [consciousness], and from the very understanding (bodha) of the world, where then is that world [as a separate entity]?
