Some ask - In the taittirIya shruti passage “yuvA syAt sAdhu yuvAdhyAyakaH AshIShTo baliShTho dhR^iDhiShThaH | tasyevaM pR^ithivI vittasya pUrNA syAt” a person having land belongings and wealth has been mentioned. Such a person can only be a person in Samsara. A liberated one cannot be said to own land and wealth. So, it is not correct to say that this passage talks about the liberated ones.
To this we reply. This passage is talking about a single soul who intially is in bondage and later gets liberated from it. The reference to holding land and wealth is from the samsara state. Therefore there is no inconsistency.
