TRANSLATION
O master of yogic power, you said that fatigue resulting from
moving the body here and there is appreciated by direct percep-
tion, but actually there is no fatigue. It simply exists as a matter of
formality. By such inquiries and answers, no one can come to the
conclusion of the Absolute Truth. Because of your presentation of
this statement, my mind is a little disturbed.
PURPORT
Formal inquiries and answers about the bodily conception do not con-
stitute knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Knowledge of the Absolute
Truth is quite different from the formal understanding of bodily pains
and pleasures. In Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna informs Arjuna that the
pains and pleasures experienced in relation to the body are temporary;
they come and go. One should not be disturbed by them but should toler-
ate them and continue with spiritual realization.
