Verse 4.38.10

नानन्दं न निरानन्दं न चलं नाचलं स्थिरम् ।
न सन्नासन्न चैतेषां मध्यं ज्ञानिमनो विदुः ॥ १० ॥

nānandaṃ na nirānandaṃ na calaṃ nācalaṃ sthiram |
na sannāsanna caiteṣāṃ madhyaṃ jñānimano viduḥ || 10 ||

This is not the felicity of the gusto of pleasure, nor the dolour of sorrow or discontent; it consists not in the liveliness of living beings, nor in the torpidity of stones. It is not situated in the midst of these antitheses (i.e. in the sandhisthana or golden medium between these); but in the knowing mind which is Bhumananda—all rapture and ravishment.
