Verse 3.3.40

सच्चेन्न शाम्यति कदाचन दृश्यदुःखं दृश्ये त्वशाम्यति न बोद्धरि केवलत्वम् ।
दृश्ये त्वसंभवति बोद्धरि बोद्धृभावः शाम्येत्स्थितोऽपि हि तदस्य विमोक्षमाहुः ॥ ४० ॥

saccenna śāmyati kadācana dṛśyaduḥkhaṃ dṛśye tvaśāmyati na boddhari kevalatvam |
dṛśye tvasaṃbhavati boddhari boddhṛbhāvaḥ śāmyetsthito'pi hi tadasya vimokṣamāhuḥ || 40 ||

If there is no rest with what is real, there can be no peace with the phenomenals which are full of troubles, and give no solace to the mind. It is impossible that the feeling of the perception of visibles will be ever lost to their perceiver (observer), though its subsidence only is said to constitute liberation.
