काष्ठमौनदशाभासं संसारमवशिष्यते ।
यथा निमीलिताक्षस्य रूपालोकमनोभ्रमः ॥ २५ ॥

kāṣṭhamaunadaśābhāsaṃ saṃsāramavaśiṣyate |
yathā nimīlitākṣasya rūpālokamanobhramaḥ || 25 ||

It is the delusion of your mind, that presents to your sight all this bustle and commotion of the world, which upon your right inspection of them, must remain as mute and motionless as a block of wood or stone, and as imperceptible as the prospect of things to a man with his closed eyes.
