ब्राह्मण उवाच सुखमैन्द्रियकं राजन् स्वर्गे नरक एव च । देहिनां यद्यथा दुःखं तस्मान्नेच्छेत तद्बुधः ।। ११-८-१ ।।

sanskrit

The saintly brāhmaṇa said: O King, the embodied living entity automatically experiences unhappiness in heaven or hell. Similarly, happiness will also be experienced, even without one’s seeking it. Therefore a person of intelligent discrimination does not make any endeavor to obtain such material happiness. ।। 11-8-1 ।।

english translation

साधु ब्राह्मण ने कहा: हे राजन, देहधारी जीव स्वतः ही स्वर्ग या नरक में दुःख का अनुभव करता है। इसी प्रकार, बिना मांगे भी खुशी का अनुभव होगा। इसलिए बुद्धिमान विवेकशील व्यक्ति ऐसे भौतिक सुख को प्राप्त करने के लिए कोई प्रयास नहीं करता है। ।। ११-८-१ ।।

एक साधु व्यक्ति को बिना अधिक प्रयास के अपने शरीर को बनाए रखते हुए शांतिपूर्ण और भौतिक रूप से निष्क्रिय रहना चाहिए। पूर्ण कामुक, मानसिक और शारीरिक शक्ति से युक्त होते हुए भी, एक साधु व्यक्ति को भौतिक लाभ के लिए सक्रिय नहीं होना चाहिए, बल्कि अपने वास्तविक स्वार्थ के प्रति हमेशा सचेत रहना चाहिए। ।। ११-८-४ ।।
