स्वाराज्ये भैक्ष्यवृत्तौ च लाभालाभे जने वने, निर्विकल्पस्वभावस्य न विशेषोऽस्ति योगिनः। ॥9॥
svārājye bhaikṣya-vṛttau ca lābhālābhe jane vane, nirvikalpa-svabhāvasya na viśeṣo'sti yoginaḥ. (9)
The yogin remains unaffected by their circumstances, whether in wealth or poverty, surrounded by others or alone, as they are free from desires and disturbances. Their peace comes from within, regardless of external situations.
