To be one with Brahman - That is to say, he is ready for liberation.SN

It is explained in the Seventh Chapter that material nature is the manifestation of the inferior energy of the Supreme Lord. The Lord impregnates the inferior, material nature with fragments of the Superior nature, and that is the spiritual touch in the material nature. When a living entity conditioned by this material nature begins that cultivation of spiritual knowledge, he elevates himself from the position of material existence and gradually rises up to the Brahman conception of the Supreme.
