[That indeed is the nature of the all-powerful supreme Person, which (whom) the wise call Brahman, which is of eternal and blissful essence untouched by sorrows or miseries; and on having firmly devoted their mind to Him, ascetics neglect the instrument (means) with which the notion of difference has to be cut asunder, just as Indra the god of rain, would neglect a spade which is necessary for digging a well; (just as Indra being himself Parjanya the god of rain, has no necessity to use a spade and dig a well for water, so those that realise Brahman by concentration rise above the necessity of finding other means to do away with the notion of difference].
