Note 3 — Chapter LXII · Interpretation of Destiny.

Activity is attended with the pleasure of enjoyment, with the pain of bondage; and inactivity with the pleasure of freedom, and the pain of poverty. The insensible are fond of fruition at the expense of their freedom; but the wise prefer their liberty with poverty, as it is said in the Upanishad:—
