आस्थितः परमाद्वैतं मोक्षार्थेऽपि व्यवस्थितः, आश्चर्यं कामवशगो विकलः केलिशिक्षया। ॥6॥
āsthitaḥ paramādvaitaṁ mokṣārthe'pi vyavasthitaḥ, āścaryaṁ kāmavaśago vikalaḥ keliśikṣayā. (6)
This verse highlights the irony that someone who understands the ultimate truth of oneness and seeks freedom can still be affected by desires and struggles with their sexual urges. It emphasizes the challenge of maintaining spiritual awareness while dealing with worldly attachments.
