मोक्षायैषा न बन्धाय जीवन्मुक्तस्य विद्यते ।
सर्वस्माद्व्यतिरिक्तोऽहं बालाग्रशतकल्पितः ॥ ५१ ॥

mokṣāyaiṣā na bandhāya jīvanmuktasya vidyate |
sarvasmādvyatirikto'haṃ bālāgraśatakalpitaḥ || 51 ||

The feeling of this kind of egoism, leads to the liberation of men, as in the state of the living-liberated;but the knowledge of the ego, as distinct and apart from all, and thought to be as minute as the hundredth part of a hair, is the next form of self-consciousness, which is good also.
