Please read quote 822 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. Here is a portion of that quote:
Even while living and functioning in this world, he who has this unconditioned vision does what has to be done as if he is asleep, without thinking of the world and its pleasures. After some years of living like this, one is fully liberated and he transcends all these states; he is liberated while living.
