There certainly is a distinction between the good and bad conduct of the knower. Why? Because the statement "in whatever manner he may be" is made solely for the praise of the knower, to the effect that the knower is liberated even if acting as he pleases. Or, it is "permission," that is, a mere acquiescence in the knower's acting as he pleases; it is not an injunction to act as he pleases, this is the meaning.
