On the same tree, the soul, sunk in delusion, grieves at its own helplessness. But when it sees the other, the Lord who is worshipped, and his greatness, it becomes free from sorrow.

Same theme, different voices

The sages, united with pure reason, renounce the results of their actions and, liberated from the cycle of birth, they attain a state of bliss.

Practice of Karma Yoga, p. 29
So long as this soul does not know its real destination while dwelling in the body, it is not going to be liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. There is only one way to get rid of this wandering and that is to realise God while the human body is still there.
