## Chapter 2.41 of the Brihatpratyakhyanasamstara:
**Verse 88:**
Just as a ship laden with precious jewels, though near the port and the city, sinks in the ocean due to the negligence of the boatman, similarly, a renunciant, though near the city of liberation, filled with the jewels of right faith and other virtues, sinks in the ocean of samsara due to negligence and lack of guidance from the renunciant teachers. Therefore, one should strive diligently.
**Verse 89:**
**Question:** What should one do when one lacks the ability to perform external practices like the absence of space and time?
**Answer:** O renunciant, even without external practices, one should be absorbed in the meditation of internal transformation. In the right time and place, one should abandon the body, free from delusion and attachment.
**Verse 90:**
**Question:** What is the benefit of abandoning the body in this way?
**Answer:** By cutting off the roots of attachment and aversion, and by destroying the eight karmas, one breaks free from the cycle of birth and death and attains liberation.
