na śoko na ca harṣaśca na lobho na ca matsaraḥ | eko viṣādaharṣaiśca sukhaduḥkhairvimucyate
لا حزنَ ولا فرح، لا طمعَ ولا حسد؛ فالواحدُ يتحرّر من الكآبة والنشوة، ومن اللذّة والألم.

Concept: Liberation is marked by cessation of emotional oscillation and ethical poisons: no grief/joy, no greed/envy; freedom from pleasure–pain and dejection–elation.
Application: Track four disturbances—śoka, harṣa, lobha, mātsarya—during the day; when they arise, pause, breathe, and shift to remembrance (nāma) and offering of the moment to Viṣṇu.
