समाधानासमाधानहिताहितविकल्पनाः, शून्यचित्तो न जानाति कैवल्यमिव संस्थितः। ॥16॥

samādhānāsamādhāna-hitāhita-vikalpanāḥ, śūnyacitto na jānāti kaivalyamiva saṁsthitaḥ. (16)

A wise person with a calm mind does not get caught up in thoughts about right and wrong or in the act of thinking itself. They simply exist in a peaceful state of being alone.
