योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-4, verse-45

अहमर्थे प्रविसृते संसारो ह्यनुभूयते ।
नान्तर्भूय परिक्षीणे लोचनस्येव तारके ॥ ४५ ॥

ahamarthe pravisṛte saṃsāro hyanubhūyate ,
nāntarbhūya parikṣīṇe locanasyeva tārake 45

45. aham-arthe pravisṛte saṃsāraḥ hi anubhūyate
na antar-bhūya parikṣīṇe locanasya iva tārake

saṃsāraḥ anubhūyate.
antar-bhūya parikṣīṇe (aham-arthe sati),
na (anubhūyate),
locanasya tārake iva.

45. Indeed, when the ego-sense (ahaṅkāra) is expanded, the cycle of worldly existence (saṃsāra) is experienced. This experience does not occur when the ego-sense has become internally absorbed and completely dwindled, just as (perception does not occur) when the pupil of an eye is exhausted.
