What obstructs the path of moksha (liberation)? Kashay. Attachment-abhorrence, anger-pride-deceit-greed; all these generate pain [to others and the self]. That itself is what is referred to as kashay. Param Pujya Dadashri says that attachment does not cause pain, but attachment is the seed of kashay. Seeds are sown through attachment, then when the result of that comes, abhorrence will arise on that day and through that, worldly life perpetuates. If the slightest of unfavorable or bitter circumstances emerge, then those circumstances are disliked. Abhorrence arises towards those circumstances and eff orts are made to get away from them. After attaining Akram Gnan, now whatever discharging sweetness arises, against that the Mahtamas are aware that the pure Soul does not experience that sweetness, the ego experiences it. They carry out such Purusharth that the basis of the sweetness permanently breaks, and the jagruti rises against sweetness on the path of moksha; that is the ardent prayer.
