self-discipline for spiritual development)? Moksha and partiality
contradict one another. There is no other solution except the
words of the Vitarag. It is impossible to attain moksha
without a Gnani.

The Goal Is to Attain Moksha
The state of the Siddha is Supreme Soul (Parmatma).
Nothing is to be done there. It is the natural state of being the
Knower-Seer (Gnata-Drashta), and being in the absolute bliss
(parmanand)! There in Siddha gati (location of the Siddhas),
one is in eternal and endless bliss.
Moksha is the ‘feeling’ of liberation. Firstly, there is
freedom from the worldly miseries. And then there is liberation
from all the karma. Moksha is attained from he who is
liberated.
Where there is no beggarly need of any kind, such as
want or desire for wealth, fame, sexual pleasures, disciples,
temples or respect, all the power of the world will become
submissive!
Moksha occurs when there is mistake-free understanding.
The intellect that is involved with the pudgal (body complex) is
indeed the worldly life (sansar), and the intellect that is
submissive only to the Atma (Self) is moksha.
Moksha is not a state to be reached or attained. It is
one’s own natural state. One is already in the state of moksha;
only the awareness of it is lacking. The Gnani Purush awakens
you to the Self within you, and thereafter the experience of
moksha begins!
If there is the easiest thing in this world, it is the way to
moksha. An ox will go from the farm to the home easily, but it
will have to be forcibly pulled to the farm. Moksha is our own
