Verse 6.122.12

ज्ञानसंप्राप्तिसमये मुक्तोऽसौ विगताशयः ।
अहंभ्रान्तिर्हि बन्धाय मोक्षो ज्ञानेन तत्क्षयः ॥ १२ ॥

jñānasaṃprāptisamaye mukto'sau vigatāśayaḥ |
ahaṃbhrāntirhi bandhāya mokṣo jñānena tatkṣayaḥ || 12 ||

He is released from his bondage to life, no sooner he comes to his knowledge of the soul and gets rid of his desires; because the error of his egoism is the cause of his bondage, and the wasting of it by his knowledge, is the means of his liberation.
