[nīti/wisdom] People tend to entertain their mind...

[Vyom A. Shah]

लोको हि परिचितगुणद्वेषित्वाद् नूतननूतनवस्तुनि स्वमनो रमयति।

[लोकः। हि। परिचित-गुण-द्वेषित्वात्। नूतन-नूतन-वस्तुनि। स्व-मनः। रमयति॥]

{loko hi paricitaguṇadveṣitvād nūtananūtanavastuni svamano ramayati.}

People, due to their hatred towards familiar virtues, tend to entertain their minds with newer things.
