A monk bears hunger, thirst, discomfort, cold, heat, fear and anguish with an unperturbed mind. Toleration of suffering caused to the body because of this will entail him great benefits. Daśa. Su. 8.27 24. "It is not myself alone who suffers but all creatures in the world too suffer", thus a wise man should ruminate and patiently bear the afflictions that befall him, without giving way to his passions. Sū. Kr. Sü. 1.2.1.13 25. A true monk is one whose limbs, speech and senses are under his control, who is forever immersed in the contemplation of the self, and who understands the true spirit of the scriptures. 26. A true monk is one who is not proud of his own lineage, beauty, gains and scriptural knowledge. Thus discarding all pride, he ramains deeply immersed in the spiritual contemplation.
