When one is completely cleansed of the impurities of lust and greed produced from the false identification of the body as 「I」 and bodily possessions as 「mine,」 one』s mind becomes purified. In that pure state he transcends the stage of so-called material happiness and distress.
譯文人一旦完全清除了以「我」為中心的錯誤的軀體認同，及以「我的」為表現形式的軀體擁有感所產生的物質享樂的慾望和貪婪，人的心就純凈了。在那種純凈的狀態中，他超越所謂的物質苦樂。

At that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence and always self-effulgent, never fragmented, although very minute in size.
譯文 那時，靈魂可以看到他自己超越物質存在，總是自放光芒，儘管體積很小，但卻永遠不被分成碎片。

In that position of self-realization, by practice of knowledge and renunciation in devotional service, one sees everything in the right perspective; he becomes indifferent to material existence, and the material influence acts less powerfully upon him.
譯文 在覺悟了自我的狀態下，人通過做奉愛服務實踐知識與棄絕，就會以正確的觀點看待一切，就會不再關心物質存在，而物質的影響力對他的作用也越來越小。
