इदं कृतमिदं नेति द्वन्द्वैर्मुक्तं यदा मनः, धर्मार्थकाममोक्षेषु निरपेक्षं तदा भवेत्। ॥3॥
idaṁ kṛtamidaṁ neti dvandvair-muktaṁ yadā manaḥ, dharmārtha-kāma-mokṣeṣu nirapekṣaṁ tadā bhavet. (3)
When the mind is free from the conflicting ideas of what should be done and what hasn't been done, it becomes indifferent to worldly success, desires, and even spiritual freedom. This state of indifference allows for a deeper peace and understanding beyond these opposites.
