Ashtavakra Gita 18.22: Peace, Chapter 18, Verse 22
असंसारस्य तु क्वापि न हर्षो न विषादता ।
स शीतलमना नित्यं विदेह इव राजये ॥ १८-२२॥
asaṃsārasya tu kvāpi na harṣo na viṣādatā .
sa śītalamanā nityaṃ videha iva rājaye .. 18-22..
जो दुनिया के चक्कर से बाहर हो, उसके लिए कहीं खुशी नहीं, कहीं ग़म भी नहीं। मन बिल्कुल साफ और शांत रहता है। बिल्कुल ऐसे जैसे बॉडी ही न हो, फिर भी राज करते हैं।
