योगवासिष्ठः       yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-4, verse-19

न ज्ञेयमर्थतोऽस्तीह हेम्नीव कटकादिता ।
भ्रान्तिमात्रादृते सा च शाम्यत्यस्मरणेन ते ॥ १९ ॥
na jñeyamarthato'stīha hemnīva kaṭakāditā ,
bhrāntimātrādṛte sā ca śāmyatyasmaraṇena te 19
19. na jñeyam arthataḥ asti iha hemni iva kaṭakāditā
bhrāntimātrāt ṛte sā ca śāmyati asmraṇena te
19. iha arthataḥ jñeyam na asti hemni iva kaṭakāditā
sā ca bhrāntimātrāt ṛte te asmraṇena śāmyati
19. Essentially, there is no object of knowledge that truly exists here, just as the state of being a bracelet or other ornament in gold is not separate from the gold itself. This perception arises merely from delusion, and that delusion subsides for you by not dwelling on it.
