Shiva Purana
श्लोकार्धेन तु वक्ष्यामि यदुक्तं ग्रन्थकोटिभिः ॥ ममेति परमं दुःखं न ममेति परं सुखम् ॥ ३५ ॥
I shall explain in half a stanza what is mentioned in crores of books. The feeling of “My-ness” is the greatest affliction. The feeling of “not-my-ness” is the greatest joy.
english translation
zlokArdhena tu vakSyAmi yaduktaM granthakoTibhiH ॥ mameti paramaM duHkhaM na mameti paraM sukham ॥ 35 ॥
