METAPLIYSICS
229
(617) Where there is neither pain nor pleasure, neither suffering nor obstacle, neither birth nor death, there is emancipation.
(618) Where there are neither sense organs, nor is there any action caused by the others, nor infatuation, nor surprise, nor sleep, nor thirst, nor hunger, there is emancipation,
(619) Where there is neither Karnia, nor quasi-Karnia nor the worry, nor any type of thinking which is technically called Ārtta, Raudra, Dharma and Sukla, there is Nirvāņa.
(620) In the emancipated souls, there are attributes like absolute knowledge, absolute bliss, absolute potentiality, absolute vision, formlessness, existence and extension.
(621) Emancipation which is realized only by the great is the state of unobstructedness, perfection, residing at the top of universe, well-being, goodness and freedom from the obstacles.
(622) Just as there is an upward motion in gourd if freed inside the water, in caster-seed (when it is dried), in fire or smoke and in the arrow shot from the bow, in the sameway there is a natural upward motion of the emancipated souls.
