Verse 7.34.33

वेदनं बन्धनं विद्धि विद्धि मोक्षमवेदनम् ।
यथास्थितं यथाचारं भव शान्तमवेदनम् ॥ ३३ ॥

vedanaṃ bandhanaṃ viddhi viddhi mokṣamavedanam |
yathāsthitaṃ yathācāraṃ bhava śāntamavedanam || 33 ||

Know the knowledge of the particulars, is for thy bondage alone to them, and thy ignorance of them lends only to thy liberation (from all these trammels). Sit as thou art and doing thy business, in thy state of tranquillity and total nescience of everything.
