## Sutratattva Mimamsa:
**The diseased is not free from disease, just as the samsari is not free from samsara (665).**
**A diseased person cannot be called "free from disease" even if he has been cured; because how can one who is diseased be called free from disease? That would be a contradiction in terms. (1)**
**Or, even if the diseased person has a complete absence of the disease, how can he be considered free from disease? Because if the disease itself is not present, how can he be free from it? (2)**
**Or, his son, brother, etc., who are different from the diseased person, cannot be called free from disease. Because how can the diseased person be different and the one who is free from disease be the same?**
**Similarly, how can a passionate person be called free from passion? Or, if there is an absence of passion in the passionate person, how can he be free from passion? Or, how can a different person be free from passion, while the passionate person remains passionate?**
**Therefore, according to the rules of logic, a passionate person, or the absence of passion in a passionate person, or someone other than a passionate person, can never be called "free from passion." Because all three of these cases are directly contradicted, they are against what is seen and desired. Therefore, it follows from this that whoever calls a passionate person free from passion, or whoever calls the absence of passion in a passionate person free from passion, or whoever calls someone else free from passion instead of the passionate person, is clearly deluded, mistaken, and has a distorted mind.**

**The Dārśanika commentator says:**
**"The samsari, or the absence of the samsari, or someone other than the samsari, is said to be liberated. Yet, he is not liberated from the main activity, say those who know the liberated." (205)**
**Explanation:**
**The diseased is not free from disease, just as the samsari, or the mere absence of that person, or someone else entirely, is not liberated from the main activity - the ultimate goal - even though he is said to be liberated. This is what those who know the liberated say.**
**Commentary:**
**Samsari - the person, or the absence of that person, or someone else entirely, is said to be liberated. Yet, he is not liberated from the main activity, say those who know the liberated.**
**The three - the person, the absence of the person, and someone else entirely - are not liberated from the main activity because of their attachment to the non-virtuous. This is what those who know the liberated say.**
