Verse 6.55.45

दुर्दर्शनस्य गगने शिखिपिच्छिकेव सूक्ष्मा परिस्फुरति यस्य तु वासनान्तः ।
मुक्तः स एव भवतीह हि वासनैव बन्धो न यस्य ननु तत्क्षय एव मोक्षः ॥ ४५ ॥

durdarśanasya gagane śikhipicchikeva sūkṣmā parisphurati yasya tu vāsanāntaḥ |
muktaḥ sa eva bhavatīha hi vāsanaiva bandho na yasya nanu tatkṣaya eva mokṣaḥ || 45 ||

The man who sees the train of desires, glimmering in the recess of his heart and mind, is like a purblind man who sees the bespangled train of peacocks tail in the spotless sky. He is said to be liberated whose mind is not bound to the chain of desire, and it is one's release from this chain that is called his liberation in this life and in the next.
