If one believes in duality then liberation may mean becoming a dweller in Brahmaloka until Mahapralaya. The other explanation is that the soul in this case may refer to the existing body/mind of the Jivanmukta until the body drops. Actually Jesus also said that 'All power comes to he that overcomes', or similar.......Its the old apples and oranges deal again.............ONS..Tony.
