Translation

A person who is firm in his vision of Reality gets liberated and attains one’s pre–eminence of Self which is eternal. On the other hand, the person who pursues the unreal perishes as seen in the case of a thief and a non–thief.

Annotation

The example of a thief and non–thief is from Ch–6–16 of the Chandogya Upanishad. The ordeal by fire is mentioned in the Upanishad. The hand of a thief who catches hold of a hot iron implement gets burnt whereas the hand of a non–thief does not get burnt. A person who pursues unreal objects gets entangled in a series of such pursuits and attains sorrows one after the other (Jagadguru).
