Verse 7.3.20

आकाशशून्यहृदयैर्ज्ञैर्यथास्थितमास्यते ।
क्रियते च यथाप्राप्तं नाप्येतैः क्रियतेपि च ॥ २० ॥

ākāśaśūnyahṛdayairjñairyathāsthitamāsyate |
kriyate ca yathāprāptaṃ nāpyetaiḥ kriyatepi ca || 20 ||

Wise men sit silent where they sit and live as they live, with their hearts and minds as vacant as the vacuous sky; they take what they get, and do what is destined to them as they are unconscious of doing them.
