अन्तर्विकल्पशून्यस्य बहिः स्वच्छन्दचारिणः, भ्रान्तस्येव दशास्तास्तास्तादृशा एव जानते। ॥2॥
antar-vikalpa-śūnyasya bahiḥ svacchanda-cāriṇaḥ, bhrāntasyeva daśāstāstās-tādṛśā eva jānate. (2)
This verse suggests that a truly wise person appears carefree and untroubled on the outside, much like someone who is confused, but their inner state can only be grasped by others who share that same wisdom. It highlights the depth of understanding that comes from spiritual insight.
