Viveka Chudamani  slokas 333-335 


Sloka 333:

सत्याभिसंधानरतो विमुक्तो
महत्त्वमात्मीयं उपैति नित्यम्।
मिथ्याभिसन्धानरतस्तु नश्ये
द्दृष्टं तदेतत् यदचोर चोरयोः॥333॥


सत्याभिसंधानरतो विमुक्तो -
one who is dedicated to the search of Truth , having become free;


सत्याभिसंधानरतः- means  one who is dedicated to knowing the Truth. Dedicated to Truth implies being dedicated to the concept of Brahma permeating everything every where. He sees Brahman everywhere and is thus free from bondages of this life. The one who is free from bondages sees the benefit of infinite Bliss that signifies Brahman. He attains that Bliss. In other words attains the greatness of Atman

 
महत्त्वमात्मीयं उपैति नित्यम् -
attains the eternal greatness of Atman;

This is known from the beginning

मिथ्याभिसन्धानरतस्तु नश्ये -
one who is dwells on unreal is indeed destroyed.

Dwelling on the unreal, one is lost in the world of sights and actions. He continues in the life cycle of birth and death. He is lost from the path of Brahman and effectively destroys himself

द्दृष्टं तदेतत् - the example for that is as follows.दानिकि दृष्टांतमु

यदचोर चोरयोः - यत् अचोर चोरयोः -
one who does not steal and one who steals.
 
A perfect parallel for the one who dwells in real truth and the one who dwells in unreal is  one who does not steal and one who steals ( a thief). The one who does not steal lives happily. The thief  on the other hand lives always in the fear of being caught or in jail.
