home. The world is a 'farmer's field' to be ploughed; except here, there are the horrible physical difficulties, obstacles, and the complications of the interfering intellect (buddhi). And in our own 'home', there is no vikalp (the belief of 'I am Chandubhai'); there is absolute bliss, and there is no 'doership'!
The Self has always been free, and has never been bound. Bondage seemingly appears because of illusion. By the grace of the Gnani, this illusion is dispelled and the awareness of liberation occurs!

Conviction On the Path to Moksha
To attain moksha:
What is the religion?
What is the attire?
What is the place?
In what state?
In which sect?
How to identify the sadguru?
What is the conviction
(pratiti)?
What is the characteristic of moksha?
Religion of the Self.
Any that you like.
Place of the Vitarag (One who is free from attachmentabhorrence)!
In the state of Vitaragata! Where there is no partiality! One who is continuously the Self; the ultimate guru! His speech is unprecedented, unparalleled and yet it leads one to the experience of the Self.
There the wandering Soul rests.
A state free of kashays (inner enemies of anger, pride, deceit and greed).
