## Muktatnavami Maansa: Freed from the Disease of Existence, Essence, Kalash Kavya
Thus, this soul, freed from the disease of existence, was not previously afflicted by the disease of existence, but was afflicted by it, and now it is free from it.
Here, the world itself is the great disease. Birth, death, etc., are its afflictions. It produces a strange kind of affection, and raga, etc., cause intense pain. This disease of existence is the main one, and this disease has been generated in the soul by strange karma (dravya-bhav) that is without beginning. And it is experienced by all beings, from the lowest to the highest, as is evident from experience. Thus, this disease of existence is the main one, so being freed from it is also the main thing, because the faults of birth, death, etc., are light, and their absence is the essence of their nature. It is like this - even though it is an analogy to its nature, it is the essence of the soul's nature, that is, the original nature is the essence, so its absence of faults is the essence. Due to the absence of the essence, its nature was like a broken pot, and it was a fault. When it regained its original nature, it attained the essence. Thus, just as someone who was afflicted with a disease becomes free from the disease, so too, this soul, which was afflicted with the disease of existence, has become free from the disease of existence. Thus, being free is the main thing - truly, the ultimate goal, the ultimate truth, is the essence of nature.
And this essence is the essence of the soul, that is, it is the essence of the essence. That is, the essence of the soul is the essence of its nature, its inherent state, its innate nature, which is the essence of liberation, the essence of being free. And this essence is the essence of the essence, which is limited to the essence of the object, and not otherwise, because excessive extension leads to faults. If we consider that essence to be either completely impermanent or completely permanent, then the essence of liberation is not possible, as has been explained in detail above.
Someone who has a disease is called diseased, or the absence of that diseased person, or someone other than that diseased person, none of these three definitions can be used to describe someone who is free from the disease. Similarly, a worldly person, or the absence of that person, or a soul other than that person, cannot be called free from the main point of view, from the point of view of truth, from the point of view of the ultimate goal. This is what those who know the nature of liberation say. Therefore, the system of liberation is like this - just as someone who has been cured of a disease is called a "disease-free" person, and is considered to be in a state of liberation, so too, those who were truly afflicted by the disease of existence are free from it due to the destruction of the disease of existence, as is stated in the scriptures.
**Gadashti Kalash Kavya**
**Chamar Chhand (Naarachavat)**
The person who is free from the disease is in a state of liberation, the one who is free from birth has attained liberation; there is no absence of that person, nor is there anyone who is not free, nor is there anyone who is not afflicted by the disease, nor is there anyone who is not afflicted by the disease. 157
