| | Emancipation |
 | | He becomes emancipated who acquires neither merit nor demerit, who casts off the merits and demerits accumulated in previous births, who wastes the elements of his body for attaining to a tranquillised soul, and who transcends all pairs of opposites. |
 | | Emancipation, however, being eternal, the temporary dissociation of the soul from the understanding etc., which is the consequence of dreamless sleep, is the result of Tamas or Darkness. |
 | | Over the felicity of Emancipation also, the felicity, viz., which is awakened by the inspired teaching of the Vedas and in which no one sees the slightest tincture of sorrow,- the same indescribable and truth-concealing darkness seems to spread itself (but in reality the felicity of Emancipation is unstained by darkness). |
