सुखी दुःखी विमूढोऽस्मीत्येता दुर्दृष्टयः स्मृताः ।
आसु चेद्वस्तुबुद्धिस्ते तच्चिरं दुःखमिच्छसि ॥ २९ ॥

sukhī duḥkhī vimūḍho'smītyetā durdṛṣṭayaḥ smṛtāḥ |
āsu cedvastubuddhiste tacciraṃ duḥkhamicchasi || 29 ||

The thoughts that I am happy or miserable, or wise or ignorant, proceed from our false (or comparative view of things); and you will always remain miserable, as long as you continue to believe in the substantiality of outward things.
