Really a mau is happy everywhere in the midst of people or in the forest, if he has thoroughly convinced himself of the destructibility of all things, and if he is devotedly intent on higher truth through the favour of a preceptor; otherwise, he is uu happy everywhere in society, or in a forest.
• Notes:- This verse ensures happiness to one, who is introduced to the light of truth. If one has a firm belief in the perishableness of worldly things and relations; and has a firm faith in the religious principles ly the favour of a righteous spiritual preceptor, he is happy in all places and at all times whether in the company of men or in the forest.
Verse 10. मोहान्धकारे भ्रमतीह तावत् संसारदुःखैश्च कदर्थ्यमानः । यावद्विवेकार्कमहोदयेन यथास्थितं पश्यति नात्मरूपम् ॥
