TAD ABHAWAT SANYOG ABHAVO HANAM TADDRUSHEH KAIVALAYAM
THE ABSENCE OF IT (IGNORANCE) REMOVES THE CONTACT (CALLED HAAN)
WHICH LEADS TO LIBERATION
This Sutra draws the conclusion which is inevitable. So there is a contact between the Spirit and the Nature and that leads to the pleasure and the sorrow This causes the confusion in the Spirit . The Spirit which is free and has no Qualities or GUNAS, gets attached to the body. So once the Spirit realises that it is not body, and is 'FREE',---the ignorance is gone , -the liberation occurs.This does not mean that person dies. The body and the spirit continues to be together as long as there is LIFE. But since there is is no attachment , there is is no bondage or limitation with body .
Let me try some example . If one comes in bad company and starts drinking alcohol or starts using drugs, he will continue to be attached or addicted to them . So he can't do without alcohol and the drugs and needs the company of the friends, that use this all the time . But say he realises that this is destroying the life and decides to go through REHAB. Once it is a successful rehab. he will not need the drugs or the alcohol. So even if comes in contact with old friends, he will not be attached to alcohol or drugs . This is not exactly as to what happens , but may be close to it . The great saints who had reaches the liberation, continued to 'live' normal life . They did not look any different. But the average day to day life contacts and the enjoyments do not affect them . They are FREE from the attachments.
There is short story that I had read. There was this swami or saint, who was liberated. He was moving with his disciples from town to town . In of this visits to a town , one of his older disciple called him for the dinner . He was devoted to this swami. When the dinner was offered , it had meat in it . The swami ate it , blessed the disciple and left. As they started walk in out of the town , the disciples who were with him asked the swami as to how he ate the meat , when advises them not to touch it . The swami told them to go to the town , and bring in nails and broken glass. They did bring in the nails and the swami ate them . After eating the nails and glass. he looked up and told them that for him the nails and the glass and the meat was all the SAME. He did not have any affinity for any one kind of food . So he could eat it would have no attachment to it . UNTIL ONE DEVELOPS THAT KIND OF DETACHMENT HE MUST AVOID THE THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE ATTACHMENT BAND WOULD BE HINDRANCE TO THE LIBERATION.
