*The non-Self (anātmā) gives a certain amount of pleasure during the time
of enjoyment, but at the time of its loss or destruction, it gives a
thousand times more sorrow.*

*Note:* "Anātmā" refers to anything that is not the Self — external
objects, possessions, the body, etc.


*ಅನಾತ್ಮವಸ್ತು ಭೋಗದ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವೊಂದು ಪ್ರಮಾಣದ ಸಂತೋಷವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ, ಆದರೆ ಅದು
ನಾಶವಾಗುವಾಗ ಸಾವಿರಪಟ್ಟು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ದುಃಖವನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.*
