“Before he is born, man has none of the relations of this world, no possessions or conveyances. After he dies, those possessions and conveyances, kin and followers, will be his no longer. The relation with this world is only a little game played in between. So moha for a three-day affair is of no use. Through āsakti the antaḥkaraṇa can become impure, and one whose antaḥkaraṇa is impure cannot attain Mokṣa. Those who truly wish to become jñānis, sādhakas who long for Mokṣa and hope to attain sākṣātkāra, must keep from being stuck to āsakti. It is a very sticky substance; afterwards it is hard to clean off.”
