दूरस्थमप्यदूरस्थं यन्मे मनसि वर्तते ।
इति निश्चित्य बाह्यार्थभावनां संत्यजाम्यहम् ॥ ११ ॥

dūrasthamapyadūrasthaṃ yanme manasi vartate |
iti niścitya bāhyārthabhāvanāṃ saṃtyajāmyaham || 11 ||

What is far from me (i.e. the object of sense), appears to be near me by my sensation of the same; and that which is nearest to me (i.e. my inmost soul), appears to be farthest from me (by my want of its perception). Knowing this I must abandon the outward (sensible objects), in order to see the inward soul.
