This is one of the most uncompromising declarations in all of Advaita literature: you are already free — always (sarvadā), everywhere (sarvatra), with no exception (kvacit). The corollary is equally radical: anyone who claims to be bound and seeks liberation is a fool (mūḍha). This is not mockery but a precise logical point — if there is only one Consciousness (eka caitanya), what could possibly bind it? Bondage requires two: a binder and a bound. In non-duality, this duality is impossible. The seeker who takes bondage seriously perpetuates the very illusion they wish to escape.
