वस्तुश्रवणमात्रेण शुद्धबुद्धिर्निराकुलः, नैवाचारमनाचारमौदास्यं वा प्रपश्यति। ॥46॥
vastu-śravaṇa-mātreṇa śuddha-buddhir-nirākulaḥ, naivācāram-anācāram-audāsyaṁ vā prapaśyati. (46)
This verse suggests that a wise person, who has gained clarity and calmness through understanding the truth, no longer distinguishes between right and wrong actions or even the absence of action. Their perspective transcends ordinary judgments about behavior.
