The text mentions transcending both bondage and liberation. What does this advanced teaching imply?

📖 Chapter 17

The teaching from Chapter 17, "Where there is liberation, there is bondage; where there is bondage, there is liberation," points to an advanced non-dualistic concept. It implies that as long as one operates within the duality of being either 'bound' or 'liberated,' they are still caught in a mental framework. The ultimate goal, as advised in the chapter, is to "transcend both states and remain in your pure, self-controlled state." This is achieved by acquiring special knowledge (Vijnana), discarding the ignorance of happiness and sorrow, and realizing that the true Self is Brahman, which is beyond all such dualistic concepts.
