यथा देशान्तरनरो यथा काष्ठं यथोपलः ।
तथैव पश्य चित्तं त्वमचित्तैव यदात्मना ॥ ६० ॥

yathā deśāntaranaro yathā kāṣṭhaṃ yathopalaḥ |
tathaiva paśya cittaṃ tvamacittaiva yadātmanā || 60 ||

Be unconcerned with all, and remain as an absent man. Let thy heart remain callous to everything like a block of stone or toy of wood; and look upon your mind as an inanimate thing, by the spiritual light of your soul.
