The Yoga Vāsiṣṭha presents the sage Vasiṣṭha’s teaching to the young Rāma, despairing of the world. Through many stories it argues that the world is the creation of mind, like a dream, and that liberation is to know the one consciousness. It is the source of the seven stages of knowledge, and Advaita writers quoted it often. Its date is uncertain.
