For the sage who abides in the Self, devoid of association with any imposed identities, the idea of prārabdha (destiny) is as irrelevant as dream objects to a wakeful person.

Commentary (टीका)
This sloka discusses the state of a sage who remains firmly established in the awareness of the Self, untainted by any external associations or *upādhis* (imposed identities). For such a realized individual, the concept of *prārabdha*—the effects of past actions that are believed to manifest in the current life—holds no real significance. This is illustrated by comparing it to the irrelevance of dream objects to someone who is awake, highlighting the disparity between lived reality and illusory constructs. In essence, the sloka emphasizes that true liberation transcends even the residual karmic entanglements, symbolizing the ultimate freedom in *brahman*.
