ĀTMĀNUŚĀSANA – PRECEPT ON THE SOUL by Ācārya GUṆABHADRA (ca. 818–900 A.D.) [98]
Gātha 97
The body is impure all over, and the cause of many miseries. Still, the man living in such a body does not become averse to it. On the other hand, he becomes greatly attached to it. The saints, who wish only his well-being, try to engender in him through excellent discourses a sense of detachment for the impure body. The fondness of such high-minded persons for the well-being of others is laudable.
