Life is inherently limited. Preaching the practice of moskha is not natural.

____James R. Ballantyne, London 1885_____ There would be no rule in the enjoining of means for the liberation of one bound essentially.

Komentář:

This sutra includes many words that are not easily translated, but that need to be explained. Because Sanskrit is an ancient language, its connotations and style are different than modern languages. One would need to know Sanskrit as a whole. In this context, "svabhavatah" means inherently, by its own properties - for example, a tree has the tendency to grow up toward the sky, water has the tendency to flow downward, flowers have the tendency to open, etc. "Baddhasya" means bounded by, limited, restricted by, tied up by. The word "life" is not actually expressed here in the text, but it is the implied subject of this sutra. Life is a bundle of its own tendencies. All beings on earth are bound to follow certain rules, they have their limits that cannot be changed, they are natural. The word moksha means to get rid of, to be detached from, to give up, to finish relationships. When a human being dies, this is natural, everybody dies, but we cannot just decide from one moment to the next to die and get rid of ourselves on our own so easily. Moksha is getting rid of the Self, rising above the Self. It is confusing because it is not part of what we associate with life. It would be like if an infant were deciding what his father and mother are supposed to do as work - that is not natural, such decisions are not made by children. Here the author of the sutra, Yogi Kapil, is opposing the idea of Ashtanga Yoga practice, where samadhi is called the ultimate state of yoga, and where samadhi is also called moksha. This verse does not support the opinion that samadhi is the aim of life. The Vedic style involves free thinking, and this is why the Vedic system cannot be considered a religion. Each treatise has its own style and presents is own reasoning - it is not an orthodox system. This sutra says that moksha is not a right of life, whereas other authors say it is the aim of life. This is what makes these treatises inherently democratic. To consider the Vedas to be part of the religion of "Hinduism" is a great mistake.
