Verse 5.84.29

श्रीराम उवाच ।
एवं स्थिते मुनिश्रेष्ठ जीवन्मुक्तमतेरपि ।
बन्धमोक्षदृशः सन्ति वीतहव्यात्मनो यथा ॥ २९ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
evaṃ sthite muniśreṣṭha jīvanmuktamaterapi |
bandhamokṣadṛśaḥ santi vītahavyātmano yathā || 29 ||

Mind the nullity of that which is painful to thee, because it is foolishness to part with what is pleasant to thyself; and if thou hast thy inward understanding at all, remain true to thyself by avoiding the false cares of the world.
