Shloka 67
जात्यन्धैरिह तुल्यास्ते मृत: पड़गुभिरेव च । समर्था ये न पश्यन्ति गड़ां पुण्यजलां शिवाम्,जो सामर्थ्य होते हुए भी पवित्र जलवाली कल्याणमयी गंगाका दर्शन नहीं करते वे जन्मके अन्धों, पंगुओं और मुर्दोके समान हैं
jātyandhair iha tulyās te mṛtāḥ paṅgubhir eva ca | samarthā ye na paśyanti gaṅgāṃ puṇyajalāṃ śivām ||
The Siddha said: Here, those who are able yet do not behold the auspicious Gaṅgā—whose waters are holy—are no better than the congenitally blind, the lame, or even the dead.

Educational Q&A
If one has the capacity to seek what is purifying and auspicious (symbolized by seeing the holy Gaṅgā) but still neglects it, that neglect renders one spiritually inert—comparable to blindness, lameness, or death.
A Siddha delivers a pointed moral observation: the holy Gaṅgā is available as a source of auspicious purification, and those who are able yet fail to go and behold her are censured through strong comparisons.
