मोक्षः शीतलचित्तत्वं बन्धः संतप्तचित्तता ।
एतस्मिन्नपि नार्थित्वमहो लोकस्य मूढता ॥ २९ ॥

mokṣaḥ śītalacittatvaṃ bandhaḥ saṃtaptacittatā |
etasminnapi nārthitvamaho lokasya mūḍhatā || 29 ||

Liberation is the cold indifference of the mind, and our confinement consists in the passionateness of our minds and hearts; yet the human race is quite averse to the former, and sedulously employed in the acquisition of their temporal welfare only in their foolishness, and to the astonishment of the wise.
