Sūtra translation
In fact even in the released state, the released per- form meditation, but only at their pleasure, just as tie twice-born (even after the due course of duty is over) are of their own accord repeating Tajus (praises) and Saman (songs) with the sacred grass in their hand j for all the injunctions end in leading the soul to knowledge and thereby to Brah- man ; and this is declared by Scripture.
Just as the twice-born after the performance of the (daily) study enjoined upon them, viz., Brahma Yagna, they recite the praises (Yajus and other mantras) and the songs (of Sama Veda) wearing merely at their pleasure the Kusa Pavitra on their finger; so also medita- tion, etc., in the world of heaven (are performed by the blessed of their own accord). For all the other injunc- tions are only subservient to the injunction (statement) referring to final beatitude, viz., “ He who knows Brahman attains to the Highest (Brahman) ” (Tait. III. io). And this optional performance of devotion etc., by the released is spoken of in such texts as> “ He remains singing the Saman ” (Tait III. io); also in the Brahma Tarka, “ Indeed even those that have attained to heavenly bliss perform of their own accord the meditation of Hari, just as Brahmins after their regular duty recite the Vedas, observing the rule Of wearing Kusa grass, etc., (sitting with their face to the east, etc.).” Further the Bharata says : “ Krishna the Lord of perfect bliss is worshipped by the released from whom all wrong knowledge is swept.”
