Translation

As long as a person identifies with corpse–like body, till then he remains impure, gets afflicted by others and by birth, death, illness and hell. When he realises his self as pure, blissful in nature and unchanging, he gets freed from them (all afflictions). Scripture too, tells that fact.

Annotation

‘From others’ – perception of duality is the cause for fear and anxiety. As long as a person identifies with the body, he keeps having pleasure and pain. One who sees Brahman in everything is freed from such fear (Jagadguru).
