योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-29, verse-69

सुषुप्तत्व इव स्वप्नः समाधौ प्रविलीयते ।
दृश्यं सर्वं ज्ञबोधेऽन्तः पुनः स्वात्मैव लक्ष्यते ॥ ६९ ॥

suṣuptatva iva svapnaḥ samādhau pravilīyate ,
dṛśyaṃ sarvaṃ jñabodhe'ntaḥ punaḥ svātmaiva lakṣyate 69

69. suṣuptatve iva svapnaḥ samādhau pravilīyate dṛśyam
sarvam jñabodhe antaḥ punaḥ svātmā eva lakṣyate

69. svapnaḥ suṣuptatve iva samādhau pravilīyate punaḥ
sarvam dṛśyam jñabodhe antaḥ svātmā eva lakṣyate

69. Just as a dream dissolves in the state of deep sleep (suṣupti), so too does the entire objective world (dṛśya) dissolve in meditative absorption (samādhi). Then, within the awakened consciousness (jñabodha), only one's own true self (ātman) is perceived again.
