अलमर्थेन कामेन सुकृतेनापि कर्मणा, एभ्यः संसारकान्तारे न विश्रान्तमभून्मनः। ॥7॥

alam-arthena kāmena sukṛtenāpi karmaṇā, ebhyaḥ saṁsāra-kāntāre na viśrāntam-abhūn-manaḥ. (7)

This verse suggests that in the chaotic and challenging world, seeking wealth, desires, and good deeds does not bring true peace to the mind. It encourages looking beyond these things for a deeper sense of calm and fulfillment.
