Verse 6.104.16

जीवन्मुक्तधियां भोगं यथाप्राप्तमतिष्ठताम् ।
एकाग्रहात्मिका तुच्छा मूढतैवोदिता भवेत् ॥ १६ ॥

jīvanmuktadhiyāṃ bhogaṃ yathāprāptamatiṣṭhatām |
ekāgrahātmikā tucchā mūḍhataivoditā bhavet || 16 ||

I see that although one is liberated in his life time, yet the sense of his liberation, cannot give him freedom from his obligation of tasting the pleasures that are presented before him. I think it is ignorance to refuse the king of a proffered enjoyment.
