[Another reading of the simile:—Just as a poor man does not care for the spade he worked with, after he becomes a wealthy man]. 49. (Even before moksha is attained), He is the all-powerful Lord who confers all blessings upon men; for, from Him is derived the fruit of virtuous deeds that are done with the natural qualifications of Brahmins and others; from Him is derived (issues) the whole world of effect produced by modification which is the natural and special property of mahat and other principles; when the constituents of the body become disintegrated, necessarily the body is broken up, but not the Akasa in it, similarly the individual soul in the body does not go to pieces, for He is unborn.
