Virtue is stable; happiness and misery are unstable; life is stable but its ever recurring phases unstable; forsaking the unstable; keep yourself attached to the stable and be satisfied, for satisfaction is superior to all other acquirements.
नित्यो धर्मः सुखदुःखे त्वनित्ये जीवो नित्यो हेतुरस्य त्वनित्यः। त्यक्त्वानित्यं प्रतितिष्ठस्व नित्ये संतुष्य त्वं तोषपरो हि लाभः॥
