Sanskrit: स्थूलादिसंबन्धवतोऽभिमानिनः सुखं च दुःखं च शुभाशुभे च । ध्वस्तबन्धस्य सदात्मनो मुनेः कुतः शुभं वाप्यशुभं फलं वा 
English:  Pleasure or pain, or 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?
