Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
The term, 'Etairvimuktah' (liberated from these), does not mean, that a striver after being free from evil conduct, should follow spiritual discipline. But it means, that a striver having the aim of God-realization, should try to be free from desire, anger, - greed and other evil propensities. It is because of these propensities, that a striver, commits sins and does not progress spiritually. In fact, a man (soul) being a fragment of God, is sentient, pure and naturally, a store of bliss, but his inclination towards the world, - has resulted in impurity in him, so if he develops a disinclination, towards the world, he would naturally, make spiritual progress.
