न स्पन्दते मनो यस्य शस्त्रस्तम्भ इवोत्तमः ।

na spandate mano yasya śastrastambha ivottamaḥ |
sadvastuto'sau puruṣaḥ śiṣṭāḥ kardamakīṭakāḥ || 63 ||

He whose mind does not wave to and fro like a brandished sword, but remains fixed as a post or pillar to its best intent and object, is the best of men on earth; all others (with fickle minds), are as insects continually moving in the mind.
