तस्मादनन्तमजरं परमं विकासितद्ब्रहम चिन्तय किमेभिरसदिवकल्पैः ।'यस्यानुषड्गिण इमे भुवनाधिपत्यभोगादयःकृपणलोकमता भवन्ति ॥६९॥

tasmādanantamajaraṃ paramaṃ vikāsitadbrahama cintaya kimebhirasadivakalpaiḥ |'yasyānuṣaḍgiṇa ime bhuvanādhipatyabhogādayaḥkṛpaṇalokamatā bhavanti ||69||

Translation

Therefore,contemplate on that Brahman-state which is endless; ageless; supreme and shines forth as all this. What use are these unreal agitations (of desires and disappointments)? By the attachment to this Brahman, all these enjoyments like even the ownership of the entire world etc become only the desires cherished by the wretched ignorant! ॥ 69 ॥
