समदुःखसुखः स्वस्थः समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः | तुल्यप्रियाप्रियो धीरस्तुल्यनिन्दात्मसंस्तुतिः

他苦樂平等，安住於自性，視土塊、石頭與黃金為等同，喜惡平等，堅定不移，毀譽平等。
He to whom sorrow and happiness are alike, who is established in his own Self, to whom a lump of earth, iron and gold are the same, to whom the agreeable and the disagreeable are the same, who is wise, to whom censure and his own praise are the same;
對於一個固定在地上的柱子來說，黑夜和白天沒有意義；同樣地，對於一個安住於自性的聖者來說，快樂和痛苦也沒有意義。他超越了相對的兩極。在他眼中，牛糞或黃金，珠寶或石頭，都具有同等價值。他沒有施與受的觀念。他的心不受任何愉快或不愉快的事物所擾動。他對喜愛和不喜愛的事物一視同仁。讚揚和責備都無法影響他。他堅如磐石，安住於其本質的「存在-知識-至福」絕對狀態，永遠平靜安詳。
Night and day have no meaning to a post fixed in the ground. Even so pleasure and pain have no meaning to a sage who dwells in his own Self. He is above the pairs of opposites. In his eyes cowdung or gold? a jewel or a stone? are of eal value. He is free from the idea of,giving and taking. His mind is not perturbed by anything pleasant or unpleasant. He is the same towards agreeable and disagreeable things. Praise and censure cannot affect him. He stands adamant. He abides in his own essential state as ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute. He is ever calm and serene. (Cf.V.18)
