This is the path to liberation, the essence of the universe, the subtle and the gross, the knowable and the unknowable. This is the path I choose, the path of the liberated.

Those who are dedicated to this path, with their minds illuminated by the understanding of the division of action, inaction, and the agent of action, gradually eradicate the roots of delusion. Sometimes, due to ignorance, pride, and carelessness, they become lax in their self-control and are subjected to severe punishments to guide them back to the righteous path. They repeatedly receive atonement for their transgressions. Their minds, constantly purified by faith, knowledge, and conduct, are like soiled garments washed clean by the pure water flowing over a smooth stone. They gradually attain the certainty of the non-existence of the duality of means and ends, and find rest in the pure, radiant, and blissful Self, free from all the complexities of rituals and external practices. They gradually attain the state of equanimity, transcend all attachments, and experience liberation directly.

Those who are attached to worldly affairs, however, are constantly troubled by the perception of the duality of means and ends. Their minds, filled with the seeds of faith in rituals and other beliefs, are clouded by a multitude of thoughts and doubts. They are tossed about by the waves of the ocean of rituals and practices. Sometimes they are attracted to something, sometimes they contemplate, sometimes they act, sometimes they calm down, sometimes they become agitated, sometimes they feel compassion, sometimes they become arrogant. They are constantly engaged in dispelling doubts, uncertainties, and confusion. They nurture their attachment to worldly life, and strive to maintain their position, seeking affection and influence. They observe the time for study and practice, often feigning humility, and are burdened by the weight of rituals. They are careful to maintain their wealth and reputation, and are vigilant in their conduct. They are dedicated to the five great vows of non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, non-possession, and non-attachment. They are deeply engaged in the practices of restraint and self-control. They are diligent in their speech, actions, giving, receiving, and renunciation. They are constantly striving to practice austerities, including fasting, simplicity, renunciation of taste, avoidance of company, and solitary sleep and sitting. They are disciplined by the practices of atonement, humility, non-attachment, non-indulgence, study, and meditation. They are fully engaged in the rituals and practices, driven by the desire for good karma. Even though they are primarily motivated by karma, they still acquire good karma. They are unable to even imagine the unity of knowledge, faith, and conduct, which transcends all rituals and practices. Their minds are burdened by the weight of good karma, and they continue to wander in the ocean of existence, destined to experience the suffering of the heavenly realms.

As it is said:

"Those who abandon the practice of the path, and who are attached to the world, are like those who are lost in the wilderness. They do not know the essence of the path, which is the purity of the mind."
