self-discipline for spiritual development)? Moksha and partiality contradict one another. There is no other solution except the words of the Vitarag. It is impossible to attain moksha without a Gnani.
[23] The Goal Is to Attain Moksha
The state of the Siddha is Supreme Soul (Parmatma). Nothing is to be done there. It is the natural state of being the Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta), and being in the absolute bliss (parmanand)! There in Siddha gati (location of the Siddhas), one is in eternal and endless bliss.
Moksha is the 'feeling of liberation. Firstly, there is freedom from the worldly miseries. And then there is liberation from all the karma. Moksha is attained from he who is liberated.
Where there is no beggarly need of any kind, such as want or desire for wealth, fame, sexual pleasures, disciples, temples or respect, all the power of the world will become submissive!
Moksha occurs when there is mistake-free understanding. The intellect that is involved with the pudgal (body complex) is indeed the worldly life (sansar), and the intellect that is submissive only to the Atma (Self) is moksha.
Moksha is not a state to be reached or attained. It is one's own natural state. One is already in the state of moksha; only the awareness of it is lacking. The Gnani Purush awakens you to the Self within you, and thereafter the experience of moksha begins!
If there is the easiest thing in this world, it is the way to moksha. An ox will go from the farm to the home easily, but it will have to be forcibly pulled to the farm. Moksha is our own
