The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 8 · Khaṇḍa 10

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 8.10.2

न वधेनास्य हन्यते ।
नास्य स्राम्येण स्रामः ।
घ्नन्ति त्व् एवैनम् ।
विच्छादयन्तीव ।
अप्रियवेत्तेव भवति ।
अपि रोदितीव नाहम् अत्र भोग्यं पश्यामीति ॥

na vadhenāsya hanyate ।
nāsya srāmyeṇa srāmaḥ ।
ghnanti tv evainam ।
vicchādayantīva ।
apriyavetteva bhavati ।
api roditīva nāham atra bhogyaṃ paśyāmīti ॥

Nor struck when it (the body) is struck, nor lamed when it is lamed, yet it is as if they struck him (the self) in dreams, as if they chased him. He becomes even conscious, as it were, of pain, and sheds tears. Therefore I see no good in this.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
