Verse 18

¹⁶Those who have not reached aloneness, and those who have gone past dullness, who go by the three ends and have not a moment to spare: they are the ones who kill their own self. ¹⁷These are killers of the self, never quiet, taking themselves for knowing while they are ignorant. They sink down with their work undone, their daydreams broken up by time. ¹⁸Leaving behind house and children, friends and wealth, all of them built up with great toil, they go into the dark unwilling, having turned their faces from Vasudeva.
