Verse 5.5.44

निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ।
अद्वितीयो विशोकात्मा विज्वरो भव राघव ॥ ४४ ॥

nirdvandvo nityasattvastho niryogakṣema ātmavān |
advitīyo viśokātmā vijvaro bhava rāghava || 44 ||

Ease yourself, O Rama! by knowing that there is no duality (save the Unity of God); and that there is no contrariety of things (as that of heat and cold), except their oneness in the Divine monism. Then knowing yourself as a spiritual being, and situated in the purity of Divine essence, you shall have no need of devotion or adoration (in order to appease or unite yourself with the Deity). And knowing also that you are not separated from God, forsake all your sorrow.
