In English

Those who do not understand the qualities are interested in the act; however, the wise man who knows the truth should not disturb the mind of those who do not.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Those deluded by the qualities of Nature are attached to the functions of the qualities. The man of perfect knowledge should not unsettle the foolish one who is of imperfect knowledge.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
