308-309. As a person, bound in
shackles from a long time knows their harshness, mildness and (their)
duration. If he does not break them, he is not released from karmic
bondage, and even after a long time that person does not obtain
Liberation.

310. Similarly, even
knowing the quantity, the nature, the duration, and intensity karmic
bondage (the soul) is not liberation. If (it) becomes pure, it frees
itself from all (Karmas).
Commentary.
Here is a refutation of the view
that a soul which is aware of its karmic bondage can be liberated by the
mere knowledge of it. Unless one makes efforts for Liberation, he cannot
be liberated, just as a person in shackles cannot be freed from his
bondage merely by knowing that he is in bondage. He must, in order to be
free, adopt measures for breaking off the shackles. Right conduct is
indispensable to right belief and right knowledge, in the path if
Liberation. Just as a person who knows the right way to ascending a hill
cannot reach it, if he does not take the trouble of ascending the hill;
but if he ascends along the right path to the right point, he is sure to
reach his destination, at some time, without fail. In the same manner a
right believer must begin to follow the three- fold path of Liberation
which is in one word called Self-absorption.

311. As one bound by shackles
does not get freedom, by merely thinking of the bondage. So the soul also
does not attain Liberation by merely thinking of the (Karmic) bondage.
Commentary.
A person may pay close attention
to the scriptures, in which the nature of Karmic bondage is explained, but
he cannot get rid of karmas, upless he adopts self-absorption.

312. As one bound in shackles
attains freedom after having broken the bondage, similarly the soul
attains Liberation by breaking the bondage (of Karmas) .

Liberation by cutting the bondage.

Liberation by throwing aside the bondage.

315. And having known
the nature of bondage and his own true nature, he who does not indulge in
bondages, achieves Liberation from Karmas.
Commentary.
Self- analysis,
self-discrimination and non-attachment are necessary for the path of
Liberation. First of all, a wise man must know the true nature of soul
and non-soul, the nature of Karmic bondage, and its injurious effects upon
the soul, and then realise that his one-ness with his own self would bring
peace, happiness and freedom.

316. Thus the soul
and bondage disunite, each having its own real essential nature. And they
fall apart, being chiselled by the chisel of self-discrimination.
Commentary.
Material Karmas and
soul are mixed together like milk and water. Their individual nature can
only be discriminated by taking their differentia into consideration.
Differentia of soul is pure consciousness, free from any obscurity or
passionate and impure thought-activity. From real point of view it is
quite pure, all knowing, all perceiving, all-powerful, all peaceful an
all-happy. The operative effects of karmas ans other physical conditions
are all material. By constant practice, this self-discrimination makes
the soul quite pure, peaceful, and happy like all other liberated souls.
