Verse 4.22.2

दृश्यं संत्यजतो हेयमुपादेयमुपेयुषः ।
द्रष्टारं पश्यतो दृश्यमद्रष्टारमपश्यतः ॥ २ ॥

dṛśyaṃ saṃtyajato heyamupādeyamupeyuṣaḥ |
draṣṭāraṃ paśyato dṛśyamadraṣṭāramapaśyataḥ || 2 ||

They swerve from the sight of the visibles as unworthy of their notice, and seek after the knowledge of their chief good; they behold the all-seeing God in their mental and external sights, and have no perception of the unintelligent perceptibles.
