Adhyaya 37 — Alarka’s Crisis and the Teaching on Non-Attachment (Madālasa’s Instruction Recalled)
नाहं शरीरं न मनो यतोऽहं पृथक् शरीरान्मनसस्तथाहम् ।
तत् सन्तु चेतस्यथवापि देहे सुखानि दुःखानि च किं ममात्र ॥
nāhaṃ śarīraṃ na mano yato ’haṃ pṛthak śarīrān manasas tathāham | tat santu cetasy athavāpi dehe sukhāni duḥkhāni ca kiṃ mamātra ||
