Commentary (टीका)
This verse draws a nuanced parallel between the innocence of a child and the enlightenment of a wise person. Just as a child can abandon physical hunger and pain, a learned individual transcends ego (aham) and attachment (mamatā) to find joy in simple moments, free from the burdens of worldly desires and pain. The key to such happiness lies in cultivating a state of detachment and selflessness, which aligns with the principles of Vedantic philosophy where happiness is found not in the material, but in the realization of spiritual truths.
