"Jeevanmuktan"

Swami Adi Sankaracharya : explains the nature of Jeevanmuktan-


1. During daytime he may take a leisurely walk in lonely forests gazing
delightfully at the numerous trees standing covered by thick shades,
with their branches bent low due to the weight of leaves and fruits,
with flocks of birds perching on their top cooing and wailing
variously in chorus their unsullied songs and tunes, adding greatly to
the charm and glory of pristine wilderness.



2. At night he may lie fast asleep on the strong bed of the un-decked surface of Mother Earth,the one common gift of Nature to mankind. Whatever be thus the
resort of the illumined ascetic, whose ignorance has been liquidated
by the graceful initiation of the Teacher, his mind will not be duped
or agitated.
