Essentials of
No pain in penance
आत्मदेहान्तरज्ञानजनिताल्हादनिवृत्तः । तपसा दुष्कृतं घोरं मुजानोऽपि न विद्यते ।।३४।।
The ignorant Jiva locks up his ardent zeal and earnestness in body and sense organs, the alien entities to him, and therefore becomes alongwith body painful, agonized and distressed. But on the cantrary the man of deep knowledge has been fully cognizant obout the science of distinction between body and mind so he never takes the bodily sufferings and pains as his self's and never gets identified with them; so he is free from all the bodily grievances and suffer. ings. He never cares of the bodily lips and downs; he has been fully absorbed in bliss flowing from the realization of the soul, and in virtue of this bliss he is totally untouched by the bodily pleasures, and has been completely lost in the ocean of bliss of and proxi. mation with the soul.
