c12.s2.t3.80

(2) The knowledge of the âtman transcends individuality, and therefore the possibility of pain. “He who knows the âtman overcomes sorrow.”⁵ “He who is in the body is possessed by desire and pain, for because he is in the body no safeguard is possible against desire and pain. He however who is free from the body is not affected by desire and pain.”⁶ “He therefore who has crossed this bridge is like a blind man who gains his sight, like a wounded man who is healed, like a sick man who becomes whole.”⁷
