Just as the moon is the best among the celestial bodies, so too is liberation the best and most excellent. This is what the wise say. Embracing the supreme excellence of liberation, the virtuous should always remain steadfast in their restraint, controlling their senses and mind, and performing all the necessary actions for liberation.
"Those who are being carried away by the currents of the ocean of existence, by the streams of false belief, passions, and negligence, and who are being dragged towards that, and who are being degraded by the ripening of their own karmas, and who are without refuge, and who are without good thoughts, for them, the Tīrthankaras, or other compassionate Ganadharas, out of their boundless compassion, declare a beautiful island, a place of refuge. Just as, in the ocean, a creature that has fallen into the water, and who is being tossed about by the waves, and who is exhausted and about to die, is told by a compassionate person to take refuge in an island, so too, for those who are exhausted from wandering in the world, the Tīrthankaras, etc., declare the island of right faith, etc., as a place of rest from the wandering of the world, which has never been declared before by others. And by doing so, they establish the foundation for liberation, which is characterized by the cessation of wandering in the world, and which is attained by the attainment of right faith, etc., and which is declared by the wise to be the most excellent."
"Those who are self-controlled, always restrained, with their karmic currents cut off, and who are free from the flow of karma, and who declare the pure Dharma, and who consider it to be complete, are truly liberated."
