MAIN CONTENT
:: Moksha (cycle of births and deaths) can be attained only from Jnana
:: This cycle is set in motion by engaging in Karmas driven by desiring or engaging in prohibited actions
:: However one will not one get Moksha merely by abstaining from Kaamya Karma and Nishiddha Karma because no one can claim that they have never engaged in actions driven by desire (Kaamya) or abstained totally from prohibited (Nishiddha) actions
:: How is the Karma of a Jnani burned?
:: Karma is to be performed for Chitta Shuddhi (purification of the mind)
