The Arising of Diverse Dharmas: Devotional Observances and Varṇa-Based Duties
येन तत्प्राप्यते योगं तच्छृणुष्व वसुन्धरे ॥ त्यक्त्वा लाभमलाभं च मोहं कामं च वर्जयेत् ॥
yena tatprāpyate yogaṁ tac chṛṇuṣva vasundhare || tyaktvā lābham alābhaṁ ca mohaṁ kāmaṁ ca varjayet ||
वसुंधरा, अब सुनो योग कैसे मिलता है। चाहो प्रॉफिट हो या लॉस, दोनों को छोड़ दो। मोह और इच्छा को भी दूर भागो।
