सत्त्वासत्त्वमती त्यक्त्वा चैतयोर्जगदात्मनोः ।
त्यक्त्वा न किंचिन्मध्ये च शेषे बद्धपदो भव ॥ ८ ॥

sattvāsattvamatī tyaktvā caitayorjagadātmanoḥ |
tyaktvā na kiṃcinmadhye ca śeṣe baddhapado bhava || 8 ||

Abandon the thoughts of felicity or infelicity of the world (nor be like the laughing or crying philosopher with your one sided view of either the happiness or misery of life), and seeing there is no such difference in the mind of God, stick fast in this last state of indifference to both.
