554. Through the destruction of limitations the perfect knower of Brahman is merged in the One Brahman without a second-which he had been all along, becomes very free even while living, and attains the goal of his life.
[ 'Is merged &c.-Quotation from Brihadaranyaka IV. iv. 6.]
शैलूषो वेषसद्भावाभावयोश्च यथा पुमान् । तथैव ब्रह्मविच्छ्रेष्ठः सदा ब्रह्मव नापरः ॥ ५५५ ॥ 555. As an actor, when he puts on the dress of his rôle or when he does not, is always a man, so the perfect knower of Brahman is always Brahman and nothing else. di.com
यत्र कापि विशीर्ण सत्पर्णमिव तरोर्वपु पततात् । ब्रह्मीभूतस्य यतेः प्रागेव तचिदमिना दग्धम् ॥ ५५६ ॥
556. Let the body of the Sannyâsin who has realised his identity with Brahman, wither and fall anywhere like the leaf of a tree, it is of little consequence to him, for) it has already been burnt by the fire of knowledge.
[IBurnt 6.c.-Hence he need not even care about the cremation of the body after death. ]
