Verse 5.13.21

मा खेदं भज हेयेषु नोपादेयपरो भव ।
हेयादेयदृशौ त्यक्त्वा शेषस्थः स्वच्छतां व्रज ॥ २१ ॥

mā khedaṃ bhaja heyeṣu nopādeyaparo bhava |
heyādeyadṛśau tyaktvā śeṣasthaḥ svacchatāṃ vraja || 21 ||

Be not fond of what you think to be beautiful, nor disgusted at what appears hateful to you, get rid of these antagonist feelings, and be even-minded by fixing it on One, before whom all things are alike and equally good.
