योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-38, verse-10

चिन्मयत्वाच्चितौ चेत्यं जलमप्स्विव मज्जति ।
तेनानुभूतिर्भवति नान्यथा काष्ठयोरिव ॥ १० ॥

cinmayatvāccitau cetyaṃ jalamapsviva majjati ,
tenānubhūtirbhavati nānyathā kāṣṭhayoriva 10

10. cinmayatvāt citau cetyam jalam apsu iva majjati
tena anubhūtiḥ bhavati na anyathā kāṣṭhayoḥ iva

10. cinmayatvāt cetyam citau jalam apsu iva majjati.
tena anubhūtiḥ bhavati,
anyathā kāṣṭhayoḥ iva na.

10. By virtue of its nature as consciousness (cinmayatvāt), the cognizable object (cetyam) merges into consciousness (citau), just as water (jalam) dissolves into other waters (apsu). For this reason, (true) experience (anubhūtiḥ) arises; it does not occur otherwise, like with two pieces of wood (kāṣṭhayoḥ).
