Yoga Sutras 4.24

Patanjali, explained by Swami Vivekananda

विशेषदर्शिन आत्मभाव-भावनाविनिवृत्तिः ॥

viśeṣadarśina ātmabhāva-bhāvanāvinivṛttiḥ

For the discriminating, the perception of the mind as Atman ceases.

In plain words: A person who has learned to tell things apart clearly stops thinking the mind is the Atman, the true Self. They know the Self is not the mind.

Swami Vivekananda explains

Through discrimination the Yogi knows that the Purusha is not mind.
