बुद्धियोग-(समता) की अपेक्षा सकामकर्म दूरसे (अत्यन्त) ही निकृष्ट है। अतः हे धनञ्जय ! तू बुद्धि (समता) का आश्रय ले; क्योंकि फलके हेतु बननेवाले अत्यन्त दीन हैं।

बुद्धियोग-(समता) की अपेक्षा सकामकर्म दूरसे (अत्यन्त) ही निकृष्ट है। अवधान एक सीमित क्षमता है: जो विषय बार-बार मन में आता है, वही अगली क्रिया की दिशा बनता है। यह पंक्ति उसी मानसिक चयन को अपना विषय बनाती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
