Only when there is dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation; to not hurt anyone, to give happiness to others) in the body, then there is shukladhyan in the Self (contemplation as the Self, the Soul).

About This Quote

The body only feels the pain of an injury when it is first inflicted. After that, it loses sensation. That’s because our body derives its happiness not from the pain itself but rather from the joy that it brings to us. The same applies to our soul, or Self.

When it is in pain, we withdraw from the world around us and turn inward. We indulge in some form of contemplation as we contemplate on how to be happy again.
