Verse 3.11.23

अत्यन्तासंभवो यावद्बुद्धो दृश्यस्य न क्षयः ।
तावद्द्रष्टरि दृश्यत्वं न संभवति मोक्षधीः ॥ २३ ॥

atyantāsaṃbhavo yāvadbuddho dṛśyasya na kṣayaḥ |
tāvaddraṣṭari dṛśyatvaṃ na saṃbhavati mokṣadhīḥ || 23 ||

It is entirely impossible to be so, as long as our notion of the view, is not lost in our minds, for unless the view is vanished both from the vision of the eyes and mind, no one can even form an idea of liberation in his mind.
