- from detachment arises freedom from delusion.
- निर्मोहत्वे निश्चलतत्त्वं
- From freedom from delusion arises steady truth;
- निश्चलतत्त्वे जीवन्मुक्तिः ॥९॥

Good company is traced as a practical sequence toward freedom while living. Each step - satsanga, detachment, clarity, steadiness - leads the mind from confusion to the state of jivanmukti.
