previous sūtra, should be understood in this sūtra also. In the previously quoted
passages it is not possible to dreaw the understanding that the liberated jīva is

dreamless sleep and death the jīva and Brahman are different. The difference in
dreamless sleep is described in these words (Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.3.12):
prājñenātmanā sampariṣvakto na bāhyaṁ kiñcana veda nāntaram
"Embraced by the omniscient Self, he knows nothing else, either without or
within."
The difference in death is described in these words from the same passage:
prājñenātmanā anvārūḍha utsarjan yāti
"Mounted by the omniscient Self, and groaning, he leaves."
