Verse 4.37.14

गत्वा सुदूरमपि यत्नवता जवेन नासाद्यते तदिह येन सुपूर्णतैति ।
मत्वेति मा व्रज पदार्थगणान्धिया त्वं न त्वं त्वमेव परमार्थतया चिदात्मा ॥ १४ ॥

gatvā sudūramapi yatnavatā javena nāsādyate tadiha yena supūrṇataiti |
matveti mā vraja padārthagaṇāndhiyā tvaṃ na tvaṃ tvameva paramārthatayā cidātmā || 14 ||

Again knowing well, that it is not possible for the swiftest runners to reach their goal of perfection, how far so ever they may go. You must desist in your mind from pursuing after worldly objects, and persist to meditate on the spirituality of your inward and intellectual soul.
