Commentary (टीका)
This verse highlights the concept of detachment and equanimity in spiritual practice. The use of "shadow" as a metaphor indicates that, just like a shadow cannot truly affect the essence of an object, external experiences—be they pleasant (suṣṭhu) or unpleasant (duḥṣṭhu), warm (uṣṇam) or cold (śītam)—do not touch the essence of an exceptional individual (tad vilakṣaṇam puruṣam). This state of non-attachment is a hallmark of spiritual advancement, where one remains unaffected by the dualities (dvandva). The puruṣa, here personified as exceptional, embodies the idea of remaining firm in one's ātman amidst various worldly experiences, reflecting the ideal of self-realization and samādhi.
