कल्पनामात्रकलिता सत्यैषा हि न वस्तुतः ।
असंकल्पनमात्रेण दात्रेणेव विलूयते ॥ ६७ ॥

kalpanāmātrakalitā satyaiṣā hi na vastutaḥ |
asaṃkalpanamātreṇa dātreṇeva vilūyate || 67 ||

What is this desire, but the creation of your false imagination, for whatever you think to be good for yourself; (though it may not be so in reality); and no sooner you cease to take a fancy for anything, than your desire for it is cut off as by a knife.
