संकल्पः परमो बन्धस्त्वसंकल्पो विमुक्तता ।
संकल्पं संविजित्यान्तर्यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु ॥ २४ ॥

saṃkalpaḥ paramo bandhastvasaṃkalpo vimuktatā |
saṃkalpaṃ saṃvijityāntaryathecchasi tathā kuru || 24 ||

Every thought about one's self, fastens his bondage in this world;but release from selfish thoughts, leads him to his liberation. Cease from thy selfish cares, and thou shalt cease to toil and moil for naught.
