Verse 7.175.24

यतो वाचो निवर्तन्ते तूष्णींभावोऽवशिष्यते ।
व्यवहार्यपि खात्मैव तद्वत्तिष्ठति मूकवत् ॥ २४ ॥

yato vāco nivartante tūṣṇīṃbhāvo'vaśiṣyate |
vyavahāryapi khātmaiva tadvattiṣṭhati mūkavat || 24 ||

This mental conception or abstract contemplation of the world, is inexpressible by words, and makes the meditator remain in mute astonishment; and causes him to continue as dumb in this ordinary conduct in life.
