A doubt arises whether the Released has a body and sense-organs, or not;
or whether he has them or not just as he pleases. The teacher Bâdari
holds that body and sense-organs are absent; since the text declares
this. The text--'as long as he is embodied there is no freedom from
pleasure and pain; but when he is free from the body then neither
pleasure nor pain touches him' (Ch. Up. VIII, 12, 1)--declares that
pleasure and pain are necessarily connected with embodiedness; and the
text--'having risen from this body and reached the highest light he
manifests himself in his own shape' (VIII, 12, 3)--declares that the
Released one is without a body.
