Sanskrit: शवाकारं यावद्भजति मनुजस्तावदशुचिः परेभ्यः स्यात्क्लेशो जननमरणव्याधिनिलयः । ात्मानं शुद्धं कलयति शिवाकारमचलम् तदा तेभ्यो मुक्तो भवति हि तदाह श्रुतिरपि 
English:  So long as man has any regard for this corpse-like body, he is impure, and suffers from his enemies as also from birth, death and disease; but when he thinks of himself as pure, as the essence of good and immovable, he assuredly becomes free from them; the Śrutis also say this.
