[The idea is this: The mind of the liberated
one is absolutely freed from egoism and consequently
from all inclinations and disinclinations which are
generated by it. But his body does not drop off
immediately after the attainment of Knowledge. His
Prârabdha Karmas persist, and his life continues till
they are completely exhausted. During this latter
period of life, his actions are entirely guided by his
Prârabdha without the least vestige of egoism or
any motive in him. Sometimes he is then found
active and sometimes meditative and inactive;
internally, however, his condition is always one of
absolute freedom.]
तत्त्वं यथार्थमाकर्ण्य मन्दः प्राप्नोति मूढ़ताम् ।
अथवायाति सङ्कोचममूढः कोऽपि मूढवत् ॥३२॥

is required to possess certain preliminary qualifica-
tions (for which see note 3, verse 1, chapter I) in
Devoid
order to qualify himself even to hear of it.
of such qualifications, one is sure to be bewildered
