Having gained such an understanding, I do not give way to joy or to grief. As two pieces of wood floating on the sea meet together at one time and are again separated, so is the union of (living) creatures in this world.
एतां बुद्धिमहं प्राप्य न प्रहृष्ये न च व्यथे॥ यथा काष्ठं च काष्ठं च समेयातां महोदधौ। समेत्य च व्यपेयातां तद्वद्भूतसमागमः॥
