। ॥ ९७१ ॥
In plain words
He who harbors no sense of a separate ego, whose intellect remains untouched by stain whether he is actively engaged in the world or completely withdrawn from it—he is known as one liberated while alive.
Close to the Sanskrit
Whose egoistic disposition is not, whose intellect is not tainted, whether acting or not acting, he is said to be liberated while living.
