Like a stunted ignorant

Katham alakshitah pouroih sampraptah kurujangalan
unmatta muka jada bat vicharan gojasahvaye

Translation

His (Vyasdev's) son was a great devotee equi-balanced monist and was always fixed up by his mind in monism. He was transcendental to the mundane activities without being exposed like a stunted ignorant.

Commentary by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami

Shrila Sukadeva Goswami was a liberated soul and as such he remained always alert not to be trapped by the illusory energy. In the Bhagwat Geeta this alertness of the liberated soul is very lucidly explained. The liberated soul and the conditioned souls have different engagements. The liberated soul is always engaged in the progressive path of spiritual attainment which is something like a dream for the condition soul. The conditioned soul cannot imagine what may be actually the engagement of the liberated soul. While the condition soul thus dreams about spiritual engagements the liberated soul is awake. Similarly the engagement of a conditioned soul appears to be a dream for the liberated soul. Apparently a conditioned soul and a liberated soul may seem to be on the same platform but factually they are differently engaged and their attention is always alert either in the matter of sense enjoyment or in the matter of self realization respectfully. The conditioned soul is completely indifferent in the details of the matter. How they are so different is explained as follows.
