Upon attaining Knowledge of Self from the Gnani Purush & with His grace, even sublest ego gets destroyed. So, the ego which binds karma is destroyed & discharge ego which suffers karma remains. This discharge intellect & ego are non-living but nevertheless their effect sometimes results in daily worldly interactions in form of anger-pride-deceit-greed. At that time, because awareness does not remain one becomes affected. However, if he uses the supportive knowledge, ‘Die while living,’ then too it is possible to remain free from effects. In simple terms, ‘To die while living,’ Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan is referring to a life without interference & worries. In current edition Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “The Self-realized ones are ‘dead’ in the worldly life, and only alive in the Self!” The word corpse has been repeatedly used to refer to a state free of ego. He tells us to die while living; this should be taken to mean one’s tendency to support intellect & ego should be dissolved.
