337." There is no Liberation for one who has attachment for the body, etc., and the liberated man has no identification with the body, etc. The sleeping man is not awake, nor is the waking man asleep, for these two states are contradictory in nature.
VIVEKACHUDAMANI
अन्तर्बहिः स्वं स्थिरजङ्गमेषु
ज्ञात्वाऽऽत्मनाऽऽधारतया विलोक्य ।
त्यक्ताखिलोपाधिरखण्डरूपः
पूर्णात्मना यः स्थित एष मुक्तः ॥ ३३८ ॥
338. He is free who knowing through his mind the Self in moving and unmoving objects and observing It as their substratum, gives up all superimpositions and remains as the Absolute and the infinite Self.
सर्वात्मना बन्धविमुक्तिहेतुः सर्वात्मभावान्न परोऽस्ति कश्चित् ।
श्यामहे सत्युपपद्यतेऽसौ
सर्वात्मभावोऽस्य सदात्मनिष्ठया ॥ ३३६ ॥
339. To realise' oneself as the Self of the whole universe is the means of getting rid of bondage. There is nothing higher than the identity of oneself with the whole universe. One realises this state by excluding the objective world through steadfastness in the eternal Atman.
