“He who is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not care for material distress, insult or honor because he is aloof from all these. … Socrates, for instance, who believed in the immortality of the soul, was condemned to death, and upon being asked how he would like to be buried, replied, “First of all you may have to catch me.” So one who knows that he is not the body is not disturbed, for he knows the soul cannot be caught, tortured, killed or buried. … He is not concerned with the modes of goodness, passion or ignorance, but with Kṛṣṇa. One who understands this is a jñānī, a wise man, and he is very much dear to Kṛṣṇa.” SoulHinduismKrishnaSocrates Book:On the Way to Krsna Source: On the Way to Krsna
