' ' ' ' ' । ॥ २८ ॥

In plain words

Thousands of passages reveal that Mokṣa comes from recognizing non-difference. After establishing one's identity with Paramātman through 'That is Ātman; you are That,' the texts add, 'The person who has an Ācārya knows,' and then show through 'For him, the delay is only so long' that Mokṣa comes from Vijñāna of non-difference alone. They compare one who stands in truth to a truthful non-thief who is not burned: Saṃsāra is absent. One who clings to difference is like the lying thief who is burned: that vision carries one into Saṃsāra.

Close to the Sanskrit

And thousands of texts show Mokṣa through the apprehension of non-difference. Having established identity with Paramātman by 'That is Ātman; you are That,' and having said, 'The person who has an Ācārya knows,' they show Mokṣa through the Vijñāna of non-difference alone with the words, 'For him, the delay is only so long.' By the example of the truthful non-thief's freedom from burning and the rest, they show the absence of Saṃsāra; and by the example of the thief's burning and the rest, they show entry into Saṃsāra for the untruthful person who sees difference.
