Verse 5.11.18

न तदिहास्ति समुन्नतमुत्तमं व्रजसि येन परां परिपूर्णताम् ।
तदवलम्ब्य बलादतिधीरतां जहिहि चञ्चलतां शठ रे मनः ॥ १८ ॥

na tadihāsti samunnatamuttamaṃ vrajasi yena parāṃ paripūrṇatām |
tadavalambya balādatidhīratāṃ jahihi cañcalatāṃ śaṭha re manaḥ || 18 ||

O wicked mind! there is nothing here so good and great, whereby thou mayest attain thy high perfection, except by the forsaking of all frivolities and dependance on thy entire resignation to the unchangeable One.
