नानाश्चर्यमिदं विश्वं न किञ्चिदिति निश्चयी, निर्वासनः स्फूर्तिमात्रो न किञ्चिदिव शाम्यति। ॥6॥

nānāścaryam-idaṁ viśvaṁ na kiñcid-iti niścayī, nirvāsanaḥ sphūrtimātro na kiñcid-iva śāmyati. (6)

This verse suggests that a person who truly understands that the diverse world around them is ultimately unreal becomes free from desires and attains a state of pure awareness. In this realization, they experience deep peace, feeling as if nothing truly exists.
