In that case no end can be seen to the bondage of Karma, because no one knows what type of life one would get the next time and who knows whether he would be able to continue the spiritual pursuit at that time? Further, the worldly soul is conditioned to react favorably or unfavorably to the situations that it gets from time to time. Thereby it continues to acquire new bondage. The pupil therefore states that unless there is some incontrovertible way to eradicate that long-standing bondage and to overcome the conditioning of soul, it is not possible to gain liberation. Merely knowing about liberation would thus be of little avail.
