it attains Nirvan. Afterwards it will not come back into the Samsar. That light will not again fall into the bondage of Samsar, because with its disappearance its cause, its effect and its action cease to exist. That is the condition of the soul. That is its perfect state. In that state, there is no consequence, there is no Ka.ma; there is no desire; there is no ambition; there is no temptation; there is no raturn into the Samsar; no cause; no effect; no doer and nothing exists afterwards and that is Moksha.
When the soul enters this state, it is said to have attained Moksha. in that state, it will be like a pure, formless light Fifiy lights can merge into one light. In the same manner, countless souls can merge into one soul This has been deemed Nirvan or Moksha. In that state, there will not be any desire. Desire is the root-cause of all sorrows; and when desire gets extinguished. all those sorrows also come to an end; and that is called Moksha. The light disappears; and its work is over. It attains Nirvan; we cannot see it again; and we cannot know it again, and where has that light gone? We cannot know where it has gone. Where has it cone?

It has been deemed indestructible in science as well as in our Darshans (Philosophy). So, the atoms of that light, do exist; but are not perceptible. It has become pure and reformed and has attained its original state; and in that state no further transformation can take place in it. It will not enter into bondage again. Nirvana is the attainment of its original state by the soul. When once the soul attains that state of supreme truth, it will have no purpose or intention to return to Samsar again. It will not have any such gravitation; it will not have the attra. ction of Mamatva (attachment), and it will not have any desire or intention of getting back into Samsar. This point
