योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-42, verse-3

निरस्तकरणापेक्षं मरुतः स्पन्दनं यथा ।
यथा विसरणं भासस्तथा जगदिदं परे ॥ ३ ॥

nirastakaraṇāpekṣaṃ marutaḥ spandanaṃ yathā ,
yathā visaraṇaṃ bhāsastathā jagadidaṃ pare 3

3. The world bears the same relation to the supreme soul, as the fluctuation of the winds bear to air, and as the radiation of rays bears to light, which have no other causality except in themselves.
