yadā na nindenna dveṣṭi brahma sampadyate tadā yā dustyajā durmatibhir yānajīryati jīryataḥ

Translation

Kapag ang tao ay hindi naninira at hindi napopoot, saka niya naaabot ang kalagayan ng Brahman. Ang gayong loob—na mahirap bitawan ng masamang pag-iisip—ay hindi naluluma kahit ang katawan ay naluluma.
