Such a jnani is still far from the goal as he has not yet attained Nirakara Brahm. Even though a jnani is liberated from the bondage of avidya maya, he is still not liberated from vidya maya. At this elevated stage, the jnani is still vulnerable as he can fall from this state. An example of a jivanmukt jnani is Jada Bharata, before he developed attachment to a fawn.
