No one should be proud of his great wealth; no one should feel exalted, because he has studied the entire Vedas. Men are of different dispositions in the world, but Destiny is supreme. Power and exertion are both futile and useless. Knowing Destiny to be supreme (over all), the wise should neither feel pride nor grief.
न जातु हृष्येन्महता धनेन वेदानधीयीतानहंकृतः स्यात्। नानाभावा बहवो जीवलोके दैवाधीना नष्टचेष्टाधिकाराः। तत् तत् प्राप्य न विहन्येत धीरो दिष्टं बलीय इति मत्वाऽऽत्मबुद्ध्या॥
