5. If one has realised' It here in this world, then
there is true' life, if he has not realised here, great is the
destruction. Discerning the Atman in every single being,
the wise man rises' from sense-life, and attains immortality.
[NOTES — 1.
Realised It here in this world—This
refers to the Vedantic doctrine of liberation in this very
life (Jivanmukti). The Vedanta holds that if ignorance is
the cause of bondage, its destruction must give liberation,
irrespective of survival or death of the body.
2. True life—This
is the
life
of one liberated in the
embodied state. All others excepting him are living under
a spell of illusion and hence, in untruth.
3. Rises from sense-life—The
text can also be inter-
preted as 'after death', But that will not suit the context,
nor the Vedantic tradition.]
