## Thirty-sixth Chapter
21.1. There was no obstacle for him created by women, nor any aversion, nor weariness of life. Seeing the female body as impure, like a leather doll, he endured the obstacle of women. ||119||
He remained standing, and did not desire, even in his mind, footwear, sitting, or lying down. Thus, he conquered the obstacles of standing, sitting, and lying down with ease. ||120||
The best among those who know the ultimate truth, he endured death and reproach, being indifferent to the body, which is to be abandoned, and not rejoicing in it. ||121||
"He did not desire to maintain his body through food obtained by begging. Therefore, he became silent and endured the obstacle of begging. ||122||
He endured the obstacles of sweat, excrement, and the touch of grass, being incapable of being disturbed. He had abandoned the conditioning of the body, and was indifferent to both pleasure and pain." ||123||
Considering the body as the abode of disease, the valiant and wise hero endured the obstacle of disease, which was difficult to bear. ||124||
Abandoning the pride born of knowledge, the wise one endured the obstacle of knowledge, knowing that the excellence of knowledge lies in becoming omniscient. He was fearless and courageous. ||125||
He was never eager for honor or reward. He did not rejoice when honored, nor was he satisfied when rewarded. ||126||
He was always content and conquered the obstacle of loss. The obstacles of ignorance and lack of vision did not affect this yogi. ||127||
A man who does not desire anything is not affected by the obstacles of attraction and aversion. ||118||
