न बघ्नाति रतिं चेतः श्वदृतौ ब्राह्मणो यथा ।
एतां दृष्टिमवष्टभ्य ये स्थिताः कृतबुद्धयः ॥ २५ ॥

na baghnāti ratiṃ cetaḥ śvadṛtau brāhmaṇo yathā |
etāṃ dṛṣṭimavaṣṭabhya ye sthitāḥ kṛtabuddhayaḥ || 25 ||

Intelligent men have no fondness for worldly things, but bear an aversion to them as a holy Brahman has against the sweet milk contained in a flask of skin. They remain regardless of visible objects, with his eyes closed against them, as a blind man takes no heed of out-ward appearances.
