नैव प्रार्थयते लाभं नालाभेनानुशोचति। धीरस्य शीतलं चित्तम- मृतेनैव पूरितम्॥१८- ८१॥
He neither longs for possessions nor grieves at their absence. The calm mind of the sage is full of the nectar of immortality.

The dispassionate does not praise the good or blame the wicked. Content and equal in pain and pleasure, he sees nothing that needs doing.

तुष्टिः सर्वत्र धीरस्य यथापतितवर्तिनः। स्वच्छन्दं चरतो देशान् यत्रस्तमितशायिनः॥१८- ८५॥
Peace is everywhere for the wise man who lives on whatever happens to come to him, going to wherever he feels like, and sleeping wherever the sun happens to set.
