Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 560
कुल्यायामथ नद्यां वा शिवक्षेत्रेऽपि चत्वरे ।
पर्णं पतति चेत्तेन तरोः किं नु शुभाशुभम् ॥
kulyāyāmatha nadyāṃ vā śivakṣetre'pi catvare |
parṇaṃ patati cettena taroḥ kiṃ nu śubhāśubham ||
(Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 560)
If a leaf falls in a stream or a river, in a place consecrated to Siva or at a crossroad, what good or evil will it bestow upon the tree?
A tree has no benefit even if the leaves fall from the tree in a holy place or river. Similarly, a pure soul will not be worried about his body falls anywhere. The destination of the soul is more important than the body's dysfunctional.
