The illustrative example given above regarding the collection of obstacles is explained here in detail. Just as a patient, or the absence of the disease in the patient, or someone other than the patient, none of these three can be called free from the disease; similarly, a worldly man, or the mere absence of the worldly man, or someone else entirely separate from him - none of these three can be called free from the main obstacle, from the ultimate truth, because in all these cases, there is an absence of the cause of activity. (1) A worldly man, meaning a soul who is subject to the cycle of birth and death, cannot be called free from the ultimate truth; because if he were truly free from the ultimate truth, why would he be worldly? And if he is worldly, how can he be free from the world? Although, from the perspective of pure conviction, it can be said that "all beings are liberated," this is only a verbal statement and cannot be considered as true liberation from the main obstacle, from the ultimate truth. And whatever is said in this regard is nothing but delusion, falsehood, and mental aberration. The point is that a worldly man cannot be called free from the main obstacle. (2) Or, even where there is only the absence of the worldly man, there is no liberation. Because where there is only the absence of the soul, how can there be liberation? (3) Or, even if someone else entirely separate from the worldly man exists, he cannot be liberated; because just as it is impossible for a patient to become healthy by someone else, similarly, it is impossible for a worldly soul to be liberated from the worldly disease by someone else.
Thus, due to the absence of the cause of activity, the cause of liberation, none of these three aspects can be considered free from the main obstacle. In other words, just as a patient cannot be called free from the disease, similarly, a worldly man cannot be called liberated. Just as there is no question of liberation for a patient who has the disease itself, similarly, there is no possibility of liberation for a worldly soul who has the disease itself. Or, just as it is impossible for a patient to become healthy by someone else, similarly, it is impossible for a worldly soul to be liberated from the worldly disease by someone else, because it would be like saying, "Take the red one and fill it with Haridas," which is absurd! This is a definitive, established, theoretical truth, like two plus two equals four, which cannot be changed at any time. This is a clear, true fact that any human being, young or old, can understand. Yet, whoever insists that a patient, or the absence of the disease in the patient, or someone other than the patient, is free from the disease, is clearly delusional, a direct falsehood; similarly, whoever says that a worldly man, or the absence of the worldly man, or someone other than the worldly man, is liberated, is also clearly delusional, a direct falsehood.
From the above, it is established that (1) some philosophers (Samkhya, etc.)
