किं सुखं किं नु वा दुःखं सर्वं ब्रह्मेदमाततम् ।
अहमासं मुधा मूढो दिष्ट्या मूढोऽस्म्यहं स्थितः ॥ ३४ ॥

kiṃ sukhaṃ kiṃ nu vā duḥkhaṃ sarvaṃ brahmedamātatam |
ahamāsaṃ mudhā mūḍho diṣṭyā mūḍho'smyahaṃ sthitaḥ || 34 ||

What mean these pains and pleasures to us, when they both proceed from ourselves, and are alike in the sight of God? I had been all along ignorant of this truth, which has fortunately now dawned upon me.
