Beyond Virtue and Vice
The liberated one transcends moral duality.
The knower of Brahman is not troubled by thoughts of 'why did I not do good' or 'why did I do evil.' Such duality is transcended in Self-knowledge.
He is not troubled by 'why did I not do good?' or 'why did I do evil?' One who knows this shakes off both.
Liberation transcends the relative realm of right and wrong.

- What the Upanishads say about letting go
The Taittiriya says the one who knows is no longer troubled by why did I not do good and why did I do wrong. It is presented as the end of self-accounting, not as permission.
