deprivation; all restlessness, craving, aspiration come to an end in liberation. It is a disembodied state of the soul that has no fear of relapse to the mundane existence. Moksa is eternal; it lasts for ever.
Moksa is a state in which the soul no more remains active. The soul appears an active agent only in the saṁsāra state as it is enveloped by the adjuncts like body, mind, buddhi, ahamkāra, etc. ..., and hence, it appears as the doer of actions and the reaper of fruits; but the moment it realises the Self it ceases to identify itself with the adjuncts which made it active during the samsāra state as long as it was under nescience. Such a liberated soul does not do any action, either good or bad, in the ethical sense; for an action generates its results which add to its Karma. The liberated man abandons all kinds of actions as they have a tendency to involve him in further bondage. As the liberated soul transcends all distinctions in its experience of complete identity with the Brahman (ENITHA129 ), it ceases to make distinction between good and bad actions. It does not feel any impulse for activity for all is the same for it, and it is already perfect. It is eversatisfied (farroa) and hence, requires nothing for itself. It is a state of being beyond duality (Garcia) of good and bad, right and wrong, desirable and undesirable, higher and lower as there is no other thing with which it can compare its prevailing state, and is a state of equality (9H AIRTEL)!The liberated soul 1 Saraswati Madhusūdana : Advaita Siddhih, Vol. II, p. 1035.
