It is covered now by material contamination. That gold—gold is gold—but it is covered by mud, dirty things, one cannot understand whether is it gold or something else. So our position is like that.

So when we are freed from these dirty things, then our original life becomes manifest. That is called mukti. Muktir hitvānyathā-rūpaṁ svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ (SB 2.10.6).
