In that pure state he transcends the stage of so-called material happiness and distress.(S.B.3:25:16).tadā puruṣa ātmānaḿkevalaḿ prakṛteḥ paramnirantaraḿ svayaḿ-jyotiraṇimānam akhaṇḍitamAt that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence and always self-effulgent, never fragmented, although very minute in size. (S.B.3:25:17).
