योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-26, verse-30

हेम्नः कटकशब्दार्थो व्यतिरिक्तो यथास्ति ते ।
व्यतिरिक्ता तथा सत्या नाहंतास्ति शमात्मनः ॥ ३० ॥

hemnaḥ kaṭakaśabdārtho vyatirikto yathāsti te ,
vyatiriktā tathā satyā nāhaṃtāsti śamātmanaḥ 30

30. hemnaḥ kaṭaka-śabda-arthaḥ vyatiriktaḥ yathā asti te |
vyatiriktā tathā satyā na ahaṃ-tā asti śama-ātmanaḥ ||

30. yathā hemnaḥ kaṭaka-śabda-arthaḥ te vyatiriktaḥ asti,
tathā śama-ātmanaḥ satyā vyatiriktā ahaṃ-tā na asti

30. Just as the meaning of the word 'bracelet' is considered distinct from its underlying gold, similarly, a truly distinct 'I-ness' (ahaṃtā) does not exist for the tranquil self (ātman).

30. כשם שהמילה "צמיד" ומשמעותה אינן נפרדות מהזהב עצמו, כך עבור מי שטבעו שלום, תחושת ה"אני" אינה קיימת כישות נפרדת או אמיתית.
