NIRVANA, MOKSHA OR LIBERATION
29
“The highest Nirvâna is His who has unshakeable steadiness of mind, and Nirvâna is not his, who has not unshakeable steadiness of mind.”
Purushârtha siddhiupaya by Amritchandra Acharya. नित्यमपि निरूपलेपः स्वरूप समवस्थितो निरूपघातः । गगनमिव परमपुरुषः परमपदे स्फुरति विशदतमः॥२२३॥
कृतकृत्यः परमपदे परमात्मासकलविषय विषयात्मा। परमानन्द निमग्नो शानमयो नन्दति सदैव ॥२२४ ॥ Nittyamapi nirupalepah svarupa samavasthito
nirupaghâtah, Gaganamiva parama puruṣah paramapade sphurati
Visadatamah (223). Kritakrit yah paramapadé paramâtma sakalavisa ya
Vişa yatma Paramananda nimagnô jnanamayô nandati
sadaiva. (224) “ (The liberated one in Nirvâna), is always dirtless, rightly fixed in one's own nature, without obstruction, quite pure like the sky, the greatest soul, enlightening itself in that highest position.” (223).
“He has done what was to be done ; He always glorifies himself in that highest position, being the greatest soul, penetrating to all the knowable objects, full of knowledge and absorbed in highest bliss."
