योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-2, verse-38

इदं कर्तव्यतात्यागं न किंचित्तेन तत्कृतम् ।
बोधादिदंतासंवित्तेः स्वयं विलयनात्तु यत् ॥ ३८ ॥
idaṃ kartavyatātyāgaṃ na kiṃcittena tatkṛtam ,
bodhādidaṃtāsaṃvitteḥ svayaṃ vilayanāttu yat 38
38. idam kartavyatā-tyāgam na kiṃcit tena tat kṛtam
bodhāt idaṃtā-asaṃvitteḥ svayam vilayanāt tu yat
38. idam kartavyatā-tyāgam (iti na),
tena na kiṃcit tat kṛtam.
tu yat bodhāt idaṃtā-asaṃvitteḥ svayam vilayanāt (bhavati,
tat eva tyāgaḥ).
38. The renunciation of the sense 'this must be done' does not mean that nothing is accomplished by that person. Instead, it is that which arises from the spontaneous dissolution of the awareness of 'this-ness' (idaṃtā-asaṃvitti), brought about by true realization (bodha).
