Devanagari script
संसारे विनिवृत्ते तु मुक्तो लिङ्गेन मुच्यते / निःसंबन्धो ह्यचैतन्यः स्वात्मन्येवावतिष्ठते
Transliteration
saṃsāre vinivṛtte tu mukto liṅgena mucyate / niḥsaṃbandho hyacaitanyaḥ svātmanyevāvatiṣṭhate
Translation
ਜਦੋਂ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਤੋਂ ਨਿਵ੍ਰਿੱਤੀ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਮੁਕਤ ਪੁਰਖ ਲਿੰਗ (ਸੂਖਮ ਦੇਹ) ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਛੁਟਕਾਰਾ ਪਾ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਨਿਸ਼ਸੰਬੰਧ, ਅਚੇਤਨ-ਸਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਤਮਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਟਿਕਦਾ ਹੈ।
