Verse 7.22.17

अरूपालोकमननवेष्टिता मुक्तदामवत् ।
बुधाः कर्मसु चेष्टन्ते वृक्षपत्रेष्विवानिलः ॥ १७ ॥

arūpālokamananaveṣṭitā muktadāmavat |
budhāḥ karmasu ceṣṭante vṛkṣapatreṣvivānilaḥ || 17 ||

They who are regardless of the visibles and thoughtless of the affairs of the world, are like those that disentangled from their snares; and they are truly wise, who meddle with their business as freely, as the free airs of heaven gently play with and move the leaves of trees.
