Translation

The characteristic of a person who is liberated while being alive is that while this body continues to exist and follow like a shadow, he is devoid of the notion of self and notion of ‘mine’ in it.

Annotation

Just as a person has no notion of ‘self’ and ‘mine’ in the bodies of others, the liberated person does not have such notions even in his own body (Jagadguru). The body does not disturb him in anyway just as a shadow does not disturb a person.
