There is no attachment or aversion for one in whom the ocean of the world has dried up. His gaze becomes vacant.his bodily actions are purposeless and his senses inoperative.
--> Translation taken from Swami Chinmayananda's
Ashtavakra Gita
====================================
The body has no purpose or destination in this life. The senses also are the same. Its the mind which drives the body towards a destination. When a person understands one's True nature, one no more seeks fulfillment through the objects of the world. Such a person is not "seeking" anything from the world for his own fulfillment. He is ever reveling in total satisfaction. This verse explains the life of a person when he experiences total satisfaction and fulfillment and therefore stops looking at the world as a means to make himself happy.
Even while acting in the world , there is no attachment or aversion. Money, pleasures, name and fame etc can at best give us comforts. Ill health may cause discomfort while a healthy body gives comfort but a Jnani clearly sees that discomfort cannot take away his happiness and comforts cannot add to it. There is total acceptance and so what ever IS, is totally accommodated. Just as space accommodates various objects but is neither attached to an object nor is averse to anything.
