Continued from Verse Thirty-Nine
40. If it is said, that Liberation is of three kinds, with form or without form or with and without form, then let me tell you that the extinction of three forms of Liberation is the only true Liberation.
Commentary: Some say liberation occurs to the mind. Some say it occurs to one beyond the mind. Some say it is something that occurs to the body and the mind while alive, but then dissolves into something infinite at the death of the body and the mind.
These are all positions taken from a conceptual, and therefore egoic, stance. The kind of liberation that is subject to that kind of debate is an egoic liberation still. The thought of liberation is the last egoic thought. It, and therefore all the forms of it that could possibly exist, have to go — only in the beyond-concepts is there true Liberation. Even formless liberation is a concept, because it is defined as a certain kind of liberation as opposed to another kind. Anything which has an opposite is a concept.
The true Liberation is no Liberation at all, because it has no opposite. It cannot be described as this or that, because it is not actually a phenomenon, not a thing, not a process of any kind. It merely an indirect description of the Truth that always has been the case, which is that the ignorant idea that there is someone who needs to be liberated, someone who suffers, someone who is limited is and always has been only a playful fiction, and not even that.
