synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting. Reader of the question: unknown.
Hindi part:
(Translated as in Finger Pointing to the Moon on CD-ROM)
The sutra
One who never knows any difference through intellect between jiva, the embodied soul, and brahma, or between brahma and nature, the creation, is called a jivanamukta, the one who is liberated while living.
Respected by the good or insulted by the wicked, one who ever remains in equanimity is called a jivanamukta.
For the one who has known the brahma essence, this world no longer remains the same as before. If it is not so, he has not known the brahma state of being and is still an extrovert.
As far as happiness etcetera are experienced, it is called prarabdha, accumulated past action-impressions; because the arising of any fruits is from actions in the past. There is no fruit anywhere without action.
Just as the dream activity ceases upon waking up, similarly past actions accumulated over billions of eons dissolve instantly upon one's knowing: "I am brahma."
Question 1 from Ma Anand Madhu
Can someone who has more time absorb such diseases from them or not? If yes, what is the method?"

The sutra
One who does not ever discriminate through intellect between the individual self and the supreme self on the one hand, and between the supreme and the universe on the other, is called a jivanmukta.
One who treats equally both the noble person who does him honor, and the ignoble who offends him, is called a jivanmukta.
The world does not remain the same as before for one who has known the supreme; therefore, if one sees the world as the same he should be taken for one who has not attained the knowledge, and who is still extrovert.
So far as the experience of happiness, sorrow, et cetera, is concerned, it is assumed to be due to prabdhakarma -- that is the predestined cause-effect chain -- because every effect flows from the cause of action.
There is no effect anyway without the cause. As upon waking, the effect of dreaming ends, so also upon the attainment of knowledge that "I am the supreme," the accumulated karmas, conditionings of millions of births, become extinct.
