वाग्मिप्राज्ञमहोद्योगं जनं मूकजडालसम्, करोति तत्त्वबोधोऽयमतस्त्यक्तो बुभुक्षुभिः। ॥1॥

vāgmi-prājña-mahodyogaṁ janaṁ mūka-jaḍālasam, karoti tattva-bodho'yam-atastyakto bubhukṣubhiḥ. (1)

This verse suggests that understanding deep truths can lead a person to become quiet and less engaged with worldly pleasures. As a result, those who want to enjoy life often avoid this kind of knowledge.
