रोगादिपीडितमतीवकृशं विलोक्य, किं मूढ ! रोदिषि विहाय विचारकृत्यम् । नाशे तनोस्तव न नश्यति कश्चिदंशो ज्योतिर्मयं स्थिरमजं हि तव स्वरूपम् ॥३७॥
Meaning :- Oh! you ! deluded person ! what amount of thoughtlessness you manifest when you fall victim to diseases of the body. or when you experience a little trouble while practising penance or when you begin to weep in vain while your mind is overtaken with grief? Do you think that your Soul loses its strength when your body loses the same ? Not the least; because your Soul is all luminous, perfect and unchanging. (37)
