परमार्थसार (महामाहेश्वर अभिनवगुप्त - त्रिक-दर्शन, अद्वैत शैव साधना एवं सान्वय सटीक)

Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta 57
self to be the inner soul of each and every being and thing,
becomes automatically liberated.
The person, who realizes his real divine nature, does not after-
wards remain bound by any laws of religious discipline in food,
shelter, clothing etc. He sees his own self in every being and every-
thing and feels himself to be liberated from all bondages and
restrictions. He may, very often, still observe some previously
practised discipline either on account of his habit or for the sake
of setting an example for the common man, but he is not at all
bound to do so.
हयमेधशतसहस्राण्यपि कुरुते ब्रह्मघातलक्षाणि ।
परमार्थविन्न पुण्यैर्न च पापैः स्पृश्यते विमलः ॥ ७० ॥
70. Haya-medha-śata-sahasrāṇyapi
kurute brahma-ghātā-lakṣāṇi
Paramārthavinna puṇyairna ca
pāpaiḥ spṛśyate vimalaḥ.
A yogin freed from all impurity and possessing the correct
knowledge of the Truth can never be touched either by piety or
by sin, even if he performs hundred-thousands of horse-sacrifices
or commits as many murders of brahmins.
Both piety and sin drive a being towards rebirth for the sake
of their fructification, but these become ineffective in the case of
a yogin who possesses the correct knowledge of the exact reality.
He becomes thus liberated from the results of all piety and sin
and consequently does not undergo any more rebirth.
मद-हर्ष-कोप-मन्मथ-विषाद-भय-लोभ-मोह-परिवर्जी ।
निःस्तोत्रवषट्कारो जड इव विचरेदवादमतिः ॥ ७१ ॥

Avoiding intoxication, joyfulness, anger, sexual passion, grief,
dread, greed, delusion etc.; not performing any recitation of
hymns, not making any offerings to sacrificial fire, and not
having any interest in debates and discussions, he may move about
posing as an idiot.
A yogin attains freedom from the effects of all passions. Per-
formance of any religious activities is not compulsory for him.
