Subject : There is a Path
of Soul's Liberation
(a) The Disciple's Doubts
होय कदापि मोक्षपद, नहि अविरोध उपाय ।
कर्मो काळ अनंतनां, शाथी छेद्यां जाय ? ॥९२॥ Hoya kadapi mokshapada, nahi avirodha upaya, Karmo kala anantana, shathi chhedya jaya ? 92 May there be freedom of the soul, There's no irrefutable means, By which, of time infinite allThe bondages may lose bobbins. 92
The disciple admits the reality of liberation for the Soul. But he has a further doubt about the truth of the sixth proposition namely that there is a sure path to Soul's Salvation or Liberation. He argues that there is such a heap of the actions done by the Soul in its countless past lives, that to expect their complete extinction in the short span of its present life is almost impossible. He respectfully asks his Guru, therefore, to show him a path to Soul's salvation that is flawless and acceptable to all.
अथवा मत दर्शन घणां, कहे उपाय अनेक ।
तेमां मत साचो कयो, बने न एह विवेक ||९३|| Athva mata darshana ghana, kahe upaya aneka, Tema mata sacho kayo, bane na cha viveka. 93
