A rule of life compressed into two lines, and the book has perhaps none better.
Naṣṭaṃ naṣṭam upekṣasva — “what is lost, leave it”.
Prāptaṃ prāptam upāhara — “what has come, take it”.
Note the doubling: naṣṭaṃ naṣṭam, prāptaṃ prāptam. It means “each and every one”: without sorting, without exceptions.
The word upekṣā — “disregard, leaving without consideration”. Not “resign yourself” and not “forget”: simply do not occupy yourself with it.
And upāhara — “receive, take”. Do not refuse for show.
The address tattva-jña — “knower of truth” — is spoken to the pupil, and there is a touch of reproach in it: you know the truth, so behave accordingly.
This is the whole daily usage of the liberated man.
