चेतो हि वासनामात्रं वास्ये तु सति वासना ।
वास्यं जगत्तदेवासदतश्चित्तास्तिता कुतः ॥ ११ ॥

ceto hi vāsanāmātraṃ vāsye tu sati vāsanā |
vāsyaṃ jagattadevāsadataścittāstitā kutaḥ || 11 ||

The mind means no more than the wish, and then only there is said to be a wish in any one, when there is an object to be wished for; but this world which appears to be so very desirable, being a nullity itself, how can there be the mind to desire it.
