व्यवहारपरोऽप्यन्तरसक्तमतिरेकधीः ।
स्पृश्यते नैनसा साधुर्मत्स्येक्षणमिवाम्भसा ॥ १४ ॥

vyavahāraparo'pyantarasaktamatirekadhīḥ |
spṛśyate nainasā sādhurmatsyekṣaṇamivāmbhasā || 14 ||

A wise man engaged in business, with his mind disengaged from it, and fixed on one object, is not obstructed by it in his view of spiritual light; as the eye-sight of fishes, is not hindered by the surrounding water.
