विज्ञात आत्मनो यस्य ब्रह्मभावः श्रुतेर्बलात् । भवबन्धविनिर्मुक्तः स जीवन्मुक्तलक्षणः ॥

vijñāta ātmano yasya brahmabhāvaḥ śruterbalāt | bhavabandhavinirmuktaḥ sa jīvanmuktalakṣaṇaḥ ||

He who, by the strength of the Śruti, has come to know that his Self is Brahman, and is fully freed from the bondage of worldly existence, bears the mark of one liberated while living.

जिसने श्रुति के बल से अपने आत्मा का ब्रह्मभाव जान लिया है और जो संसार के बंधन से पूरी तरह छूट गया है, वह जीवन्मुक्त के लक्षण वाला है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Real freedom here is not a mood but knowing who you are, learned and tested through a trustworthy teaching until it becomes your own.

यहाँ सच्ची मुक्ति कोई मनोदशा नहीं, बल्कि अपने स्वरूप का ज्ञान है, जो विश्वसनीय शिक्षा से सीखा और परखा जाए जब तक वह अपना न हो जाए।

The guru: the one who, on the strength of scripture, has come to know his own identity with Brahman is free of worldly bondage.
