धीरो लोकविपर्यस्तो वर्तमानोऽपि लोकवत्, न समाधिं न विक्षेपं न लेपं स्वस्य पश्यति। ॥16॥
dhīro loka-viparyasto vartamāno'pi lokavat, na samādhiṁ na vikṣepaṁ na lepaṁ svasya paśyati. (16)
A wise person may appear to live like everyone else, but they are different inside; they do not get caught up in distractions or attachments.
