Verse 3.91.50

यद्विद्यते शोध्यते तद्बोधः के च खपादपाः ।
देहाद्यविद्या सत्या चेद्युक्त एतां प्रति ग्रहः ॥ ५० ॥

yadvidyate śodhyate tadbodhaḥ ke ca khapādapāḥ |
dehādyavidyā satyā cedyukta etāṃ prati grahaḥ || 50 ||

We should cleanse the mind which exists for ever, rather than the body which is transient and non-existent; and as unreal as the trees in the air, of which no one takes any notice.
