अपेक्षैव घनो बन्ध उपेक्षैव विमुक्तता ।
सर्वशब्दान्विता तस्यां विश्रान्तेन किमीक्ष्यते ॥ ३६ ॥

apekṣaiva ghano bandha upekṣaiva vimuktatā |
sarvaśabdānvitā tasyāṃ viśrāntena kimīkṣyate || 36 ||

Our view or regard of the world, is our strict bondage, and disregard of it, is our perfect freedom; he who rests therefore in his disregard of (or indifference to) whatever is expressed by words, has nothing to look after or desire.
