One who has, by contemplation, become freed from attachments, and who has the wealth of a discerning mind, succeeds in attaining to Brahma which is without desire and above all attributes. As the wind does not touch the fire that lies within a piece of wood, so persons, who are moved (by desire for worldly objects stand aloof from that which is Supreme).
बुद्धिप्रवीणो मनसा समृद्धो निराशिषं निर्गुणमभ्युपैति। परं त्यजन्तीह विलोड्यमाना हुताशनं वायुरिवेन्धनस्थम्॥
