The treatises say that the best achievement for a human being is to attain detachment [Moksha] instead of physical or material achievement.

____James R. Ballantyne, London 1885_____ Also [an inferior method ought not to be adopted] because of the preeminence of Liberation [as proved] by the text [of Scripture declaratory] of its preeminence above all else.

Komentář:

It is known to all thinkers that there are two separate kingdoms on earth - the animals and the plants. They have differences and similarities. Within the animal kingdom, there are differences and similarities. All animals are equipped with motor organs and sense organs, but the difference is in the quality and quantity of these organs (tanmatra in Ayurveda) - for example, all animals have plasma, breathe oxygen, eat carbohydrates, etc. They also have differing psychological factors with different limits. Each and every animal is bounded by the limit of its mental ability, they cannot act or think beyond their limits. Qualities like passion, anger, euphoria, attachment, liking/disliking, grief, etc., are shared by all animals, from bacteria to human beings. Animals are limited in these qualities too - for example, a tiger will not eat a tomato salad. Only human beings are unlimited when it comes to these qualities, this is what makes human beings extraordinary and the most powerful creature in the animal kingdom. These extraordinary characteristics also cause human beings to suffer. The ancient Vedic treatises say if a human being uses these unlimited options, then suffering arises, but human beings can also use this superior capacity to liberate themselves from suffering. When there is bodily pain, it means that the systemic organization of the bodily tissues has been disturbed, and the same goes for the mind, for example, if a person has a concept about how a partner must behave and the partner doesn't behave accordingly, then the partnership does not work and that becomes a cause of dissatisfaction, and in this unsatisfied state of mind, the physiology of the body becomes disturbed and causes suffering, for example, the breathing, blood circulation, heartbeat, nervous system, etc. behave differently. If an intelligent person understands how he works, and realizes that the boundaries of the mind are unlimited, and that this can cause disease, then he can understand each and every individual factor of the mind and can act and behave taking this into consideration. A change automatically arises, and that is detachment. The person can still write a letter, or create a painting, but there is no attachment to the outcome of the action - the person does not identify with the desire to create, or the paints and paper, but understands that this is just an action happening in space and time. Whether the painting is then appraised for a million dollars or destroyed somehow, the detached person will remain unmoved - he will feel neither the disturbance of euphoria or the disturbance of grief. This is liberation, moksha - the human being is not attached at all.
