Commentary (टीका)
This verse from the Vedantic tradition highlights the significance of *śruti* (scriptures) in understanding one's true nature as Brahman. When an individual realizes this *brahma-bhāva* (nature as Brahman) through the momentous insight derived from scriptural teachings, they transcend the *bhava-bandha* (bonds of worldly existence). Attaining this state of *jīvanmukti* (living liberation) means that one is free from worldly attachments and suffering, experiencing liberation while still living. This conveys the essence of Advaita Vedanta, which proposes that realizing one's identity as *Brahman* leads to true inner freedom. The phrase *śruter balāt* underlines the power and authority of scriptural revelation in facilitating this profound transformation and ultimate liberation, offering guidance and clarity on the path of self-realization.
