Verse 3.122.16

शरीरातीतवृत्तिस्त्वं शरीरस्थोऽथवा भव ।
मागाः शोकं च हर्षं त्वं त्वमात्मा विगतामयः ॥ १६ ॥

śarīrātītavṛttistvaṃ śarīrastho'thavā bhava |
māgāḥ śokaṃ ca harṣaṃ tvaṃ tvamātmā vigatāmayaḥ || 16 ||

Thy thoughts are all spiritual, and transcend the actions of the corporeal body, though thou art in thy embodied state. Do not give up thy self to joy or grief, but know thyself to be free from decay and defect.
