For, what exactly is Moksha, Liberation? It is the Samadhi (or Santhi) attained through the Sadhana of Chittasuddhi, or cleansing of the Inner Man - the Sadhana of negating the impressions that one gets through seeing, hearing, reading, learning, doing and getting done. A person suffering unbearable physical agony does not take any interest in an entertainment, does he? Similarly, a sincere Seeker and Devotee can have no interest in the world's theatre of objective pleasure, and petty passion. These inferior desires have first to be renounced and checked. They lie at the root of all misery. Passion is the product of delusion; it dwells in the mansion of Raja. Renunciation or Vairagya is resident in the Sathwic guna. Passion is Asuric in nature. Passion, Ignorance, Egoism, all are born of Delusion. Passion brings about Death, while Vairagya brings about Liberation; it is Wisdom.

Stabilising oneself in Vairagya is itself the highest Thapas, the most exacting Vow. One has to be ever alert in that Thapas and strive again and again. Like a child endeavouring to walk, you might toddle a few steps, falter and fall, but like the child, you must lift yourself up with a smile and start again. Santhi is essential for such persistence. Failures are not boulders that block your way; remember, they are stepping stones to victory.

Be bound to the Atma in you; take rest and refuge in That; meditate on That, without interruption. Then, all bonds will loosen of themselves, for the bond with which you attach yourselves to the Lord or the Atma has the power of unbinding all other bonds.

The 'unattached' has real love towards all. Their love is not only pure, it is Divine as well. It is the embodiment of Santhi. One can attain the Lord without doubt, if one becomes devoid of all Raga or Passion or Attachment and if he engages himself in the actions detailed above.
