Verse 7.26.31

निर्वाणो निर्मना मौनी कर्ताऽकर्ता च शीतलः ।
ज्ञ एव शान्त एवास्ते शून्य एवाभिपूरितः ॥ ३१ ॥

nirvāṇo nirmanā maunī kartā'kartā ca śītalaḥ |
jña eva śānta evāste śūnya evābhipūritaḥ || 31 ||

The anaesthetic sage, that is cold-blooded and sober minded as a silent muni, is no voluntary actor of any act, although he may be physically employed in his active duties; and the quiet saint carries with him an empty and careless mind, although it may be full of learning and wisdom.
