Translation
Traducción
You have said, “I am not fatigued from labor.” Although the soul is different from the body, there is fatigue because of bodily labor, and it appears to be the fatigue of the soul. When you are carrying the palanquin, there is certainly labor for the soul. This is my conjecture. You have also said that the external behavior exhibited between the master and the servant is not factual, but although in the phenomenal world it is not factual, the products of the phenomenal world can actually affect things. That is visible and experienced. As such, even though material activities are impermanent, they cannot be said to be untrue.
Tú has dicho: «El trabajo no me fatiga». Aunque el alma es diferente del cuerpo, el esfuerzo físico produce cansancio, y da la impresión de que el alma también se cansa. Sin duda alguna, cuando llevabas el palanquín el alma también se esforzaba. Eso es lo que pienso. También has dicho que los tratos externos entre el amo y el sirviente no son reales, pero aunque no sean reales en el mundo fenoménico, los productos del mundo fenoménico sí pueden influir realmente en las cosas. Esto puede verse y experimentarse. Por lo tanto, aunque las actividades materiales no son permanentes, no puede decirse que no sean reales.

Significado
This is a discussion on impersonal Māyāvāda philosophy and the practical philosophy of Vaiṣṇavas. The Māyāvāda philosophy explains this phenomenal world to be false, but Vaiṣṇava philosophers do not agree. They know that the phenomenal world is a temporary manifestation but it is not false. A dream that we see at night is certainly false, but a horrible dream certainly affects the person seeing it. The soul’s fatigue is not factual, but as long as one is immersed in the illusory bodily conception, one is affected by such false dreams. When dreaming, it is not possible to avoid the actual facts, and the conditioned soul is forced to suffer due to his dream. A waterpot is made of earth and is temporary. Actually there is no waterpot; there is simply earth. However, as long as the waterpot can contain water, we can use it in that way. It cannot be said to be absolutely false.
