Verse 559

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ५५९ ॥

In plain words

Freeing the body isn't liberation. Neither is giving up a monk's staff and water-pot. The only real liberation is untying the knot of ignorance lodged in the heart - and wherever that happens, that is freedom.

Close to the Sanskrit

The release of the body is not liberation, nor is the release of the staff and water-pot; the release of the knot of ignorance in the heart - that, wherever it occurs, is liberation.
