VEDANTHA VIJNYANASUNISCHITARTHA HA; SANYASAYOGADH YATHAYA SHUDDHA SATWAHA; THEY BRAHMALOKESHU PARANTHAKALE, PARAMRUTHA HA PARIMUCHHANTHI SARVE.-------------A VERSE FROM MUNDAKA TALKS ABOUT IMMORTALITY THUS; THOSE ASPIRANTS WHOS'E NATURES HAVE BEEN PURIFIED BY A LIFE OF RENUNCIATION AND WHO ARE WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE SELF OR BRAHMAN, THAT FORMS THE SOLE QUEST OF ALL VEDANTIC STUDIES-THEY ATTAIN IMMORTALITY IN BRAHMAN AT THE TIME OF DEATH, REALISES THAT HE IS NOT THE BODY AND THEREFORE DEAD TO THE BODY CONCEPT. HE IS NOT EFFECTED BY PRARABDHA KARMA OR RATHER SANCHITA OR AGAMIKA KARMAS[ HE IS ABSOLVED OF ALL BONDAGES HERE OR HEREAFTER, HENCE HE IS NOT REBORN]. HE IS LITERALLY A FREE MAN, NOT BOUNDED BY BIRTH AND DEATH CYCLES.
