He had the same attitude towards everybody or everything. He says that an aspirant having a discriminatory intelligence (viveka) should not get entangled and feel happy in transitory and worldly things. One seeks refuge in relatives like parents etc., But all worldly relations are based on selfishness. So seeking refuge in relatives who must be having their own interest to serve, is definitely a folly.61
Śrīmad has composed a poem, called Müla mārga' at the end of his 28th year. This poem enunciates the Mokşa-mārga in very few appropriate terms. It defines the three components of Mokșa-mārga, namely, 1) samyag darśana 2) samyag jñāna and 3) samyak căritra. The importance of this poem is great, from philosophical point of view, especially for striving for liberation because he has composed this poem after his achieving great heights in spiritual practices. In the very beginning of this poem, he tells us that he was not composing the poem (preaching the real path of the Jina), with the object of getting praise or esteen, nor because he was afraid of any birth hereafter for himself. He says that he was doing it with the sole object of the welfare of aspirants. The poem, very clearly proves that he had seen the right path and also tread it."2
