VIVEKACHUDAMANI
भशरीरं सदा सन्तमिमं ब्रह्मविदं कचित् । प्रियाप्रिये न स्पृशतस्तथैव च शुभाशुभे ॥ ५४५ ॥
545. Neither pleasure nor pain, nor good nor evil, ever touches this knower of Brahman who always lives without the body-idea.
[ A reproduction of the sense of Chhandogya VII. xii. 1.]
स्थूलादिसम्बन्धवतोऽभिमानिनः सुखं च दुःखं च शुभाशुभे च । विध्वस्तबन्धस्य सदात्मनो मुनेः

कुतः शुभं वाऽप्यशुभं फलं वा ॥ ५४६ ॥
546. Pleasure or pain, as well as good or evil, affects only him who has connections with the gross body, etc., and identifies himself with these. How can good or evil, or their effects touch the sage who has identified himself with the Reality and thereby shattered his bondage?
तमसा प्रस्तवद्भानादप्रस्तोऽपि रविर्जनः ।
ग्रस्त इत्युच्यते भ्रान्त्या ह्यज्ञात्वा वस्तुलक्षणम् ॥ ५४७ ॥
547. The sun which appears to be, but is not actually, swallowed by Râhu is called as swallowed up by people, through delusion, not knowing the real nature' of the sun.
