Verse 2.4.2

सदेहा वास्त्वदेहा वा मुक्तता विषये न च ।
अनास्वादितभोगस्य कुतो भोज्यानुभूतयः ॥ २ ॥

sadehā vāstvadehā vā muktatā viṣaye na ca |
anāsvāditabhogasya kuto bhojyānubhūtayaḥ || 2 ||

The liberation whether of embodied or disembodied spirits, consists in their detachment from the objects of sense: hence the soul unattached to sensual gratification, is (said to be) liberated, having no idea of sensible objects.
