समास्त्वित्यपि बन्धस्ते श्रेयोऽसंवेदनं परम् ।
यदनाभासमजडं तद्विद्धि परमं पदम् ॥ ४१ ॥

samāstvityapi bandhaste śreyo'saṃvedanaṃ param |
yadanābhāsamajaḍaṃ tadviddhi paramaṃ padam || 41 ||

“Let me then have my equanimity and not my liberation.”This desire is also a bondage in itself; and it is the unconsciousness of these, which is reckoned as our chief good. For know the Supreme state to be that, which is pure intelligence and without a shadow.
