**The Sarvarthasiddhi Composed by the Venerable Acharya** **Chapter One** I bow down to the one who is the guide of the path to liberation, the destroyer of the mountains of karma, the mother of all universal principles, for the attainment of such qualities. 1. A certain worthy soul, who was close to liberation, wise, and desirous of his own welfare, went to a secluded hermitage, a place of rest for worthy beings, which was extremely pleasant. There, in the midst of an assembly of monks, he saw a great Acharya, who was like a living embodiment of the path to liberation, even though he did not speak. He was skilled in logic and scripture, and his primary work was to teach the welfare of others. He was worthy of being served by noble souls. This worthy soul approached the Acharya with humility and asked, "O Venerable One, what is the welfare of the soul?" The Acharya replied, "The welfare of the soul is liberation." The worthy soul then asked, "What is the nature of liberation, and what is the means of attaining it?" The Acharya said, "When the soul is completely free from the stains of karma, both subtle and gross, and from the body, then the state that arises, which is characterized by its inconceivable, inherent qualities of knowledge, etc., and by uninterrupted bliss, is called liberation." 82. Because liberation is extremely subtle, those who are ignorant and claim to be Tirthankaras describe its nature in a completely different way, using words that are based on false logic and do not touch upon its true nature. For example, (1. Samkhya) the nature of the Purusha is consciousness, which is the object of knowledge.
