Blessed disciple liberated (verses 576-578): & The glory of the text-book (verses 579-581) :

-
                                                  Swami Adi Sankaracharya


576. Considering you to be a seeker after liberation, void of the taints of this Dark Age, with a mind free from desires, I have today revealed to you, again and again, as I would to my own son, the supreme and profound secret, the inmost essence of Vedanta, the crown of all Vedas.

 577. Hearing the words of the Teacher, the disciple prostrated to him with reverence, and obtaining his permission, went his way, freed from bondage.

 578. And the Teacher, his mind immersed in the ocean of eternal Bliss, forever wandered about, verily blessing the whole world.
579. Thus, by means of a dialogue between the Teacher and the disciple, the true nature of the Self (Atman) has been indicated for the easy comprehension of seekers after liberation.

 580. May the seekers after liberation appreciate this salutary teaching, those who have cleansed themselves of the taints of the mind by observing the prescribed methods, who are indifferent to worldly enjoyments, who have serene minds and take a delight in the scriptures.

 581. For those who are afflicted in this samsara by the burning pains caused by the scorching sun rays of the three-fold sorrows (adhyatmika, adhidaivika, and adhibhautika), and those who, in delusion, roam in a desert in search of water, for them this is the glorious message of Sankara pointing out the Ocean of Nectar, the non-dual Brahman, within easy reach, in order to lead them to liberation. Om Tat Sat.
Here Vivekachudamani Ends.

The intellect with its modifications along with the organs of perception form the intellectual-sheath (vignanamaya-kosa). It has the characteristics of ―the agent‖(or doer), which is the cause for transmigration. 185.  Accompanied by a reflection of the light of consciousness, the intellectual-sheath is a modification of Primordial Matter (Prakriti). It is endowed with the function of knowledge and action and is always completely identified with the body, sense-organs, etc. 186. It is without beginning, is of the nature of the ego (I-sense), and is called the embodied self, which carries out the entire range of activities on the relative plane. It performs good and evil actions according to its previous latent tendencies, and experiences their results. 187. It comes and goes, up and down, taking birth in various bodie

  Sense objects: a trap (verses 76-82)   76. The deer, the elephant, the moth, the fish and the honey-bee---these five meet death because of their bondage to one of the five senses. What then is the condition of a person who is attached to all five?   77. Sense-objects are even more virulent in their tragic effects than a king cobra. Poison is fatal to one who swallows it, but the sense-objects kill him who merely looks at them. with his eyes.   78. One who is liberated from the terrible bonds of desires for sense-objects, so very difficult to renounce, is alone fit for liberation and none else, even if well-versed in all the six schools of philosophy.   79. Those who have only an apparent dispassion and are trying to cross the ocean of worldy existence are caught by their throats by the shark of desire which violently dragging them along, drowns them in the middle of the ocean.   80. He who slays the shark called ―sense-objects‖ with the sword of mature dispa
