**Index of the Path to Liberation, Chapter, with Commentary**
(Therefore) because (he is desireless) he who is devoid of desire (in all things) does not have any (attachment) in any of the objects (he is a worthy being) that worthy being (for this reason) becomes (freed from attachment) freed from attachment (and crosses) crosses the ocean of existence.
**Special Meaning:** Because this scripture, in relation to the explanation of the path to liberation, shows the path to liberation as the state of being freed from attachment, which is the light of pure consciousness without any attributes, therefore, the worthy being who desires liberation, which is worthy of being spoken of in terms of the essence of time, the manifestation of infinite qualities like perfect knowledge, etc., does not have any attachment in the form of self-experience even in the Arhats, etc. - because of this state of pure consciousness, which is free from attachment and luminous, that being, freed from attachment, crosses the ocean of existence and attains liberation, which is the form of infinite knowledge and other qualities. This ocean of existence is the opposite of the eternal and imperishable, it is filled with various kinds of aquatic beings in the form of birth, old age, death, etc., it is full of the bitter water of hellish suffering, which prevents the enjoyment of the one taste of supreme bliss, which is free from attachment, it is full of the chain of waves of all auspicious and inauspicious choices, which are the objects of the five senses, which destroy the supreme concentration, which is free from choices like attachment, etc., and within which the peak of the great fire of various kinds of mental suffering, which causes agitation, is burning, instead of the supreme bliss, which is free from agitation.
In this way, as mentioned earlier, the meaning of this scripture should be understood as liberation from attachment. That liberation from attachment is achieved through both the theoretical and practical aspects, which are mutually dependent on each other - liberation cannot be achieved in isolation without dependence. The meaning of this is that those who, without any dependence on the path to liberation, which is the theoretical aspect of pure knowledge, vision, and the nature of the pure self, which is the nature of the pure self, only consider the practical aspect of auspicious conduct as the path to liberation, they, with this understanding, only experience the suffering of the heavenly realms, etc., and continue to wander in this world through tradition. But those who believe that the path to liberation is the experience of the pure self, and when they do not have the power to practice the path to liberation in theory, then they follow the auspicious conduct, which is the means of achieving the theoretical aspect, then they are those who have right vision with attachment, and then they attain liberation through tradition. In this way, two statements have been made, mainly to refute the isolated aspect of practice, and those who, taking the theoretical aspect in isolation, do not attain the benefit of the pure self, which is the supreme concentration, free from choices like attachment, etc., but still follow the six essential practices, such as Samayika, etc., which are worthy of the conduct of an ascetic, and the practice of giving, etc., which is worthy of the conduct of a lay follower,
