dehah -- the body; api -- even; daiva -- of the Supreme; vasa-gah -- under the control; khalu -- indeed; karma -- the chain of fruitive activities; yavat -- as long as; sva-arambhakam -- that which initiates or perpetuates itself; pratisamikshate -- goes on living and waiting; eva -- certainly; sa-asuh -- along with the vital air and senses; tam -- that (body); sa-prapancam -- with its variety of manifestations; adhirudha -- highly situated; samadhi -- the stage of perfection; yogah -- in the yoga system; svapnam -- just like a dream; punah -- again; na bhajate -- does not worship or cultivate; pratibuddha -- one who is enlightened; vastuh -- in the supreme reality.

The material body certainly moves under the control of supreme destiny and therefore must continue to live along with the senses and vital air as long as one's karma is in effect. A self-realized soul, however, who is awakened to the absolute reality and who is thus highly situated in the perfect stage of yoga, will never again surrender to the material body and its manifold manifestations, knowing it to be just like a body visualized in a dream.
