The body of one who heeds not the world is Brahma himself; sin and merit touch him not. There is penitence in his mind like a flame of fire, which the mirage of the world cannot quench. Interest in the body itself is guilt; the mind is polluted by the sense of self. The mind is in bondage, says Tuka, till its anguish is expelled.
