உன் புத்தி மோகம் என்னும் சேற்றைக் கடந்து சென்றபோது, அப்போது நீ கேட்டதைப் பற்றியும், இனிக் கேட்க இருப்பதைப் பற்றியும் வைராக்கியத்தை (ஒதுங்கல் நிலையை) அடைவாய்.
The mire of delusion is the identification of the Self with the notself. The sense of discrimination between the Self and the notSelf is confounded by the mire of delusion and the mind runs towards the sensual objects and the body is takes as the pure Self. When you attain purity of mind, you will attain to indifference regarding things heard and yet to be heard. They will appear to you to be of no use. You will not care a bit for them. You will entertain disgust for them. (Cf. XVI.24).
