Sanskrit Text

एतद्बुद्ध्वा भवेद्बुद्धः किमन्यद्बुद्धलक्षणम् विज्ञाय तद्धि मन्यन्ते कृतकृत्या मनीषिणः

English Translation

That which strikes the Ignorant with fear can never create fear in persons of Knowledge. There is no higher and for anybody than Liberation. The sages say that on account of the excess or otherwise of good qualities, differences are seen regarding the degree of Liberation.
