in subtle way. come up above and abandon meritorious and demeritorious activities and percepts, there and then we find whatever we were searching for and our soul turns into the Paramatma.
External inake is also hindrance
to Moksha
लिग दोहश्रितं दृष्टं देह एवात्मनो भवः । न मुच्यन्ते भवात् तस्मात् ते ये लिंगकृताग्रहाः ।८७ ।
Those who think that external make or external appearance or style alone is the cause of Moksha, cannot attain it. External make and appearance are a sign of body and never that of soul. Knowledge of self is a real sign of soul and those who have by a streneous penance achieved the self knowledge alone can attain the liberation. Those who are well ' versed in and have fuifledged knowledge of soul, cannot have any temptation for external things and their play: and self-knowiedge, which is the real sign of soul, is an absolute way to Moksha.
