स्वेच्छयात्मात्मनो ब्रह्मन्भावयित्वा स्वकं वपुः ।
संसारान्मोक्षमाप्नोति स्वालानादिव वारणः ॥ ५८ ॥

svecchayātmātmano brahmanbhāvayitvā svakaṃ vapuḥ |
saṃsārānmokṣamāpnoti svālānādiva vāraṇaḥ || 58 ||

But when the mind inclines to think of its spiritual nature by its own free will; it gets its release from the prison-house of the body and bondage in the world; as a bird or beast is released from its cage, and the big elephant let loose from his fetters and the tying post.
