1.5.18
tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovido na labhyate yadbhramatām uparyadhaḥ /
tal labhyate duḥkhavadanyataḥ sukhaṃ kālena sarvatra gabhīraraṃhasā //
18. A man of wisdom ought to endeavour after that (blissful devotion to God) which is not to be attained by jivas who (in Samsara) wander through the regions above and below, from Brahma to inanimate things; for the blessings of this world come unsought, just as pain and misery do, by virtue of past Karma, made available (ready) everywhere by Time of inconceivable speed.
