Intellect is beyond the physical body

"Intellect and conscience need not have anything to do with pain. Pain is purely physical and need not inhibit the mind." - Vishnu Pendyala
History and the epics give us plenty of examples:
Bheeshma in Mahabharatha gave us the Vishnu Sahasranama lying on a bed of arrows pierced into his body. Jesus did not forget to plead forgiveness for his killers, even when on cross.
