विद्यते वासना यत्र तत्र सा याति पीनताम् ।
गुणो गुणिनि हि द्वित्वं सतो दृष्टं हि नासतः ॥ २८ ॥

vidyate vāsanā yatra tatra sā yāti pīnatām |
guṇo guṇini hi dvitvaṃ sato dṛṣṭaṃ hi nāsataḥ || 28 ||

Where there is any desire in the heart, it is thickened and hardened in time; as every thing in nature increases in its bulk in time; but not so the things that are not in existence, as the want of desires.
