Verse 7.52.2

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
वृक्षस्येव विमूढस्य यद्दृष्टौ तत्स्वचेतसि ।
यन्न दृष्टौ न तच्चित्ते भवत्यल्पतरस्मृते ॥ २ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
vṛkṣasyeva vimūḍhasya yaddṛṣṭau tatsvacetasi |
yanna dṛṣṭau na taccitte bhavatyalpatarasmṛte || 2 ||

Vasishtha replied:—The ignorant man takes to his mind all that he sees with his eyes, and not at all what he does not see. Thus he sees a tree in its outward branches and leaves, but knows not the root, which lies hid from his sight.
