Verse 6.23.16

अन्धीकृतहृदाकाशाः कामकोपविकारजाः ।
चिन्ता न परिहिंसन्ति चित्तं यस्य समाहितम् ॥ १६ ॥

andhīkṛtahṛdākāśāḥ kāmakopavikārajāḥ |
cintā na parihiṃsanti cittaṃ yasya samāhitam || 16 ||

The vexatious thought which take their rise from vitiated desire and feelings of resentment and other passions, and darken the region of the heart and mind, can never disturb the serenity of those souls, which have their repose in the Supreme Spirit.
