intermediate
तदेष श्लोको भवति। यदा सर्वे प्रमुच्यन्ते कामा येऽस्य हृदि श्रिताः। अथ मर्त्योऽमृतो भवति अत्र ब्रह्म समश्नुत इति॥
tadeṣa śloko bhavati | yadā sarve pramucyante kāmā ye\'sya hṛdi śritāḥ | atha martyo\'mṛto bhavati atra brahma samaśnuta iti ||
"There is this verse: "When all the desires that dwell in the heart are released, then the mortal becomes immortal and attains Brahman here.""
What This Means:
When all desires lodged in the heart are released, the mortal becomes immortal and attains Brahman right here, in this life.
Going Deeper:
Liberation is possible here and now (ihaiva). It requires complete release of desire, not physical death.
How To Apply This:
Liberation is available now, when desires are released. You don't need to die - you need to release.
