The heart of such a man is not grieved at calumny, nor the want of study of the holy books, nor the non-performance of sacrificial ceremonies; by a knowledge of the supreme Being those who are given to asceticism soon obtain true wisdom. The ascetics perceive that Lord who is Eternal.
नास्यातिवादा हृदयं तापयन्ति नानधीतं नाहुतमग्निहोत्रम्। मनो ब्राह्मी लघुतामादधीत प्रज्ञां चास्मै नाम धीरा लभन्ते। योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्॥
