Verse 7.171.50

परिज्ञाते यथा स्वप्ने स्वाङ्गीकारात्सुखं सुखम् ।
अनङ्गीकारतो दुःखं सदुःखं भवति क्षणात् ॥ ५० ॥

parijñāte yathā svapne svāṅgīkārātsukhaṃ sukham |
anaṅgīkārato duḥkhaṃ saduḥkhaṃ bhavati kṣaṇāt || 50 ||

The knowledge of the felicity of the world, like that of a dream upon waking, is attained with delight, but the want of this knowledge, as of some bad dream at the time of sleeping, makes us uneasy all the while.
