Re: On Liberation from Samsara
Nothing. We say, "Very good for you".
The first sutra of the sAriraka mimAmsa commences with 'athAtho', which means, 'then, therefore'. Thus, the sutrA enjoins that the nature of Brahman is to be enquired by a person who, after having learned the vedA and vedAngAs and experienced the fruits of such studies and endeavors, realises that these fruits are transient and petty. Then, therefore, he enquires into the nature of Brahman, which is eternal and the source of unlimited bliss.
The person in the hypothetical question has not reached this stage, which disqualifies him as an aspirant of vedAntA. He will eventually realise that this happy life is temporary. Though it may take him several lifetimes, his punya will be exhausted sometime. Then, he will begin his inquiry.
The story of Saubhari Muni is an example for this.

No commands from above I obey
I seek the ruin, I shake the worlds
Behold! I am blackest ov the black
Ov khaos I am, the disobediant one
Depraved son who hath dwelt in nothingness
Upon the ninth I fell, from grace up above
To taste this life ov sin, to give birth to the "I"[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
