42. Anything else, whether it is considered existent or non-existent, does not exist anywhere or at any time. Therefore, O virtuous one (sādhu), having established yourself internally with such firm conviction, abide free from all doubts and delusions.
अन्तर्मुखः सन्सततं समस्तं कुर्वन्बहिष्ठं खलु कार्यजातम् ।
न खेदमायासि कदाचिदेव निराकृताहंकृतितामुपैषि ॥ ४३ ॥
