I am the Soul
Jina. I am the Soul, the Supreme Soul. I can manifest my Supreme
state.
Apart from this, imagining bliss of the self in par - other than the self- is also mithyatva. With a misplaced goal the jiva continues to wander in confusion. If the jiva has to find its path to moksa then it has to abandon the belief that there is happiness in para other than the self i.e in body etc. and indulging in pudgalas. My bliss is within myself. I am the pure eternal atma in the form of energy, with infinite bliss as the natural disposition. My true original form is total bliss of knowledge. I am pure, unattached. When such realisation of the original form of the jiva prevails, it is the state of freedom from bondage abandhadasha. When such a state occurs, the path of bondage via mithyatva is cut off, and then the moksa path is found.
-
Srimadji says in the gatha that the jiva immersed in the causes of bandha is progressing on the path of bondage. But when a state which can break through such causes appears in the atma, the path to moksa is attained, and results in ending of the bhava.
More methods of attaining this moksa path have been told
later.
