The "Big E" in the samkhya and Yoga-sutra tradition refers to CC:
jivanmukta ("liberated while still alive")--not really the "Big E"
(UC/BC in your tradition). Akasha posted some nice views from
Vaishnavite POV's which highlight this issue nicely. And really
Shankara's commentary on the Badarayana Sutra really goes into this. If
you are following the CC/GC/UC model, grokking this text is important,
it would make a great companion on your path. You might like to also
check out other comments as these highlight views on CC and GC. It's
great stuff: a very sympathetic vibration for those on the path or
verifying the Fruit (their realization).
