Chapter 16 · Verse 8

प्रवृत्तौ जायते रागो निर्वृत्तौ द्वेष एव हि

pravṛttau jāyate rāgo nirvṛttau dveṣa eva hi | nirdvandvo bālavad dhīmān evameva

In engagement (pravṛtti), attachment (rāga) arises; in disengagement (nirvṛtti), aversion (dveṣa). The wise one, free of both, is like a child (bālavat) — spontaneously natural, acting without the dualistic machinery of attraction and repulsion.
