एतां युक्तिं विना दुःखमनन्तमितमात्मनः ।
अस्यां दृष्टौ क्षणादन्तं गतमेवावलोकय ॥ ११ ॥

etāṃ yuktiṃ vinā duḥkhamanantamitamātmanaḥ |
asyāṃ dṛṣṭau kṣaṇādantaṃ gatamevāvalokaya || 11 ||

The soul that rejects this counsel, is exposed to interminable misery; while by keeping it always before the sight of the mind, it avoids all difficulties in this world.
