अवश्यं यातारश्चिरतरमुषित्वापि विषयावियोगे को भेदस्त्यजति न जनो यत्स्वयममून् ।व्रजन्तः स्वातन्त्र्यादतुलपरितापाय मनसःस्वयं त्यक्ता ह्येते शमसुखमनन्तं विदधति ॥१२॥avaśyaṃ yātāraścirataramuṣitvāpi viṣayāviyoge ko bhedastyajati na jano yatsvayamamūn |vrajantaḥ svātantryādatulaparitāpāya manasaḥsvayaṃ tyaktā hyete śamasukhamanantaṃ vidadhati ||12||
Translation
The sense pleasures will surely go offeven if they have stayed for long. What difference does it make if the pleasures go away (naturally, because of their momentary character) when a man does not discard them by himself (and thus make them go away)? If they leave by their own accord, they cause immense pain to the mind. When discarded willingly, they end in the endless bliss of quiescence. ॥ 12 ॥
