233 537. A child plays with his toys forgetting hunger and bodily pains; exactly so the man of realisation takes plseaure in the Reality, without ideas of 'I' or 'mine', and is happy.
चिन्ताशून्यमदैन्यभेक्षमशनं पानं सरिद्वारिषु
. स्वातन्त्रेयण निरंकुशा स्थितिरभीनिद्रा श्मशाने बने। वस्त्रं क्षालनशोषणादिरहितं दिवास्तु शय्या मही
संचारो निगमान्तवीथिषु विदां क्रीडा परे ब्रह्मणि ॥५३८॥ 538. Men of realisation have their food without anxiety or humiliation, by begging, and their drink from the water of rivers; they live freely and independently and sleep without fear? in cremation grounds or forests; their clothing may be the quarters” themselves, which need no washing and drying, or any bark, etc.; the earth is their bed; they roam in the avenue of Vedânta; while their pastime is in the Supreme Brahman.
[ This is a splendid setting forth of the free life of a true Sannyasin.
Without fear–because of their identification with Brahman, the One without a second.
Quarters &c.--He goes nude, that is.
3Any bark &c.-this is suggested by the word in the text. Bark, or cloth, or anything may be their dress. ]
