Shatakatraya 3.12

3.12

avaśyaṃ yātāraś cirataram uṣitvāpi viṣayā
viyoge ko bhedas tyajati na jano yat svayam amūn |
vrajantaḥ svātantryād atula-paritāpāya manasaḥ
svayaṃ tyaktā hy ete śama-sukham anantaṃ vidadhati ||

Sense objects must inevitably depart, even after staying for a very long time;
what difference is there in separation, that man does not abandon them himself?
When they depart on their own, they cause incomparable agony to the mind;
but when given up voluntarily, they produce endless bliss of tranquility.
