चिन्मयः कलनाकालप्रकाशतिमिरादिकम् ।
वासनां वासितारं च प्राणस्पन्दनपूर्वकम् ॥ २३ ॥

cinmayaḥ kalanākālaprakāśatimirādikam |
vāsanāṃ vāsitāraṃ ca prāṇaspandanapūrvakam || 23 ||

Be an intellectual being, and continue to breathe your vital breath (as long as you live); but keep your imagination under control, and take into no account the course of time, and the revolution of days and nights.
