Ramana Gita [Translation and Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 14 `Jivan Mukti'

 

V4

Liberation is only of one kind. There is no difference in the state

of awareness. One liberated while in the body is called `Jivanmukta'.

 

Commentary

In verse 3, one characteristic of `Jivanmukti', firm Self-abidance,

has been set out. Here another characteristic is mentioned. Even

though such a person is having a body, he is in fact bodiless for he

is no longer deluded by the idea that he is the body.

 

Some scholars talk about different types of liberation, while in the

body or after the body drops off; liberation with form, without

form, and so on. These are mere ideas centred on the ego. When on

proper enquiry the ego is merged in its source, then all those

concepts too automatically end. Since the Maharshi states that the

death of ego is liberation, he asserts that liberation is only

unwavering inherence in the Self and that other attributes like

continuing in body or becoming invisible are immaterial.
