Srimad Bhagavatam — Ekadasha Skandha, Shloka 32
Nondual Vision Beyond Praise and Blame
Dvandva-nivṛtti and Ātma-viveka
यदि स्म पश्यत्यसदिन्द्रियार्थं नानानुमानेन विरुद्धमन्यत् । न मन्यते वस्तुतया मनीषी स्वाप्नं यथोत्थाय तिरोदधानम् ॥ ३२ ॥
yadi sma paśyaty asad-indriyārthaṁ nānānumānena viruddham anyat na manyate vastutayā manīṣī svāpnaṁ yathotthāya tirodadhānam
即便自证之灵偶尔见到不净之物或行为，他也不将其认作真实。凭理智了知诸感官境界立基于幻化的物质二元，智者视之与真实相违且相别，正如人醒来后看见梦境渐渐消散。
A sane person can clearly distinguish between a dream experience and his real life. Similarly a manīṣī, or intelligent person, can clearly perceive polluted material sense objects to be creations of the Lord’s illusory energy and not factual reality. This is the practical test of realized intelligence.

When the mind is pulled by conflicting opinions, desires, and sensory input, practice stepping back—remembering the temporary nature of impressions—then anchor yourself in sādhana (bhakti, meditation, study) to respond from clarity rather than impulse.
