अस्मत्संस्मरणं वापि दृश्यं वाङ्मयमस्पृशन् ।
अपश्यन्नेव पश्यन् हि काष्ठमौनी तु तिष्ठति ॥ १२ ॥

asmatsaṃsmaraṇaṃ vāpi dṛśyaṃ vāṅmayamaspṛśan |
apaśyanneva paśyan hi kāṣṭhamaunī tu tiṣṭhati || 12 ||

The austere devotee continues in his reticence, without minding his own egoism, or seeing the visibles or listening to the speech of others; and seeing nothing beside him, he sees all in himself, like living fire covered under ashes.
