Verse 7.17.2

अनहंवेदनाभ्यासात्समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः ।
भूत्वा शान्तभवापीडो न नरः परिताम्यति ॥ २ ॥

anahaṃvedanābhyāsātsamaloṣṭāśmakāñcanaḥ |
bhūtvā śāntabhavāpīḍo na naraḥ paritāmyati || 2 ||

It is by one's habit of thinking his unegoism, that he comes to view both gold and stone, as well as all sorts of rubbish in the same light; and by being calm and quiet at all events, has never any cause of sorrow at any thing whatsoever.
