योगवासिष्ठः yogavāsiṣṭhaḥ - book-7, chapter-45, verse-49

मूर्खस्थो विश्वशब्दार्थो नामूर्खविषयस्तथा ।
तज्ज्ञाज्ञयोस्तयोश्चैव विश्वविश्वेशयोस्तथा ॥ ४९ ॥

mūrkhastho viśvaśabdārtho nāmūrkhaviṣayastathā ,
tajjñājñayostayoścaiva viśvaviśveśayostathā 49

49. mūrkhasthaḥ viśva-śabda-arthaḥ na amūrkha-viṣayaḥ tathā
tat-jña-ajñayoḥ tayoḥ ca eva viśva-viśveśayoḥ tathā

49. viśva-śabda-arthaḥ mūrkhasthaḥ,
tathā amūrkha-viṣayaḥ na.
tayoḥ tat-jña-ajñayoḥ ca eva tathā viśva-viśveśayoḥ (bhedaḥ asti).

49. The meaning of the word 'universe' (viśva) holds true for the ignorant, but it is not an object of concern for the wise. Similarly, there is a distinction between the wise and the ignorant, just as there is between the universe (viśva) and the Lord of the universe (viśveśa).

49. המושג עולם תקף עבור הסכל, אך אינו קיים עבור מי שאינו סכל; וכך הדבר גם לגבי ההבחנות בין יודע לבור, או בין העולם לבין שליט העולם.
