भावनाभावनासक्ता दृष्टिर्मूढस्य सर्वदा, भाव्यभावनया सा तु स्वस्थस्यादृष्टिरूपिणी। ॥61॥
bhāvanābhāvanāsaktā dṛṣṭir-mūḍhasya sarvadā, bhāvya-bhāvanayā sā tu svasthasyādṛṣṭi-rūpiṇī. (61)
The foolish person is always caught up in thoughts and ideas, while a wise person, who knows their true self, can think about things without being truly attached to them.
