The disease of the soul, this is the cause of birth, birth and death are just transformations, the pain of attachment, aversion and delusion is immense; the main cause of this is the karma generated from the beginningless time, which binds the soul to the cycle of births, the Siddhas experience this in all beings. 158 This disease is the main cause of bondage, when it is removed, the bondage is removed, the defects of birth etc. are removed, and non-attachment is attained; the defects of the soul, which were present in the previous births, are removed and non-attachment is attained. 159 Even though the nature of the soul is suppressed by the influence of the karmic matter, it is still the nature of the soul, because of the influence of the karmic matter; the nature of the soul is as it is, and thus the non-attachment of the soul, which was present in the previous births, is removed. 160 The nature of the soul is its own nature, know this through the knowledge of the soul, and believe in your own true nature; the limit of the nature of the soul is this nature, otherwise, there is only the influence of the karmic matter. 161 The patient, his lack of health, is not the same as the other, the disease-free person never loses his health due to the influence of the karmic matter; similarly, the soul, which is born with the disease of birth, its lack of health, is not the same as the other, the liberated soul never loses its liberation. 162 The disease of the soul is removed in the person who has attained liberation, just as the disease-free person remains in the world; similarly, the soul, which has removed the disease of birth, is liberated from the cycle of births, as stated in the scriptures. 163 The lack of disease does not mean the lack of the soul, the disease-free person is healthy because he is free from disease, the lack of birth does not mean the lack of the soul, the soul is healthy because it is free from the disease of birth. 164 The soul is liberated from the cycle of births by the influence of the nature of the soul, which is free from the influence of the karmic matter; by removing the influence of the karmic matter, the soul attains its true nature, and the seed of birth is burnt by the power of the soul. 165 The soul is liberated from its own nature, which is known, the pure, natural, and inherent nature of the soul is the Siddha, the soul is the Siddha; the Brahman, which is the pure consciousness, is the supreme state of the blessed soul. 166
This is the end of the chapter on the liberation of the soul, from the book "Kiritchandra Sumanonandsudan", written by the great sage Grihadracharya, and explained in detail by Bhagavan Das in his commentary "Sumanonandani Brihattika".
