MUMUKSHUTVA The desire to free oneself from all bondages from
worldly attractions by recognizing one's True Divine Nature. In other
words a student who treads the path of Truth must, therefore, first equip
himself with Sadhana Chatushtaya (the Four Means of Salvation). As
stated above they consist of Viveka (discrimination), Vairagyha
(dispassion), Shad-Sampat (the six-fold qualities of perfection), and
Mumukshutva (intense longing for liberation). Then alone will he/she be
able to march forward fearlessly on the path. Vedic scriptures implicitly
and explicitly declare that not an iota of spiritual progress is possible with
the above mentioned four qualifications. These qualifications are acquired
in sequence just like going from elementary-school, middle-school,
secondary-school and college. Viveka dawns in a seeker through the Grace
of God; Vairagya that is born of Viveka is enduring and everlasting. The
Shad-Sampat, the six-fold virtue consists of Sama, Dama, Uparati,
Titiksha, Sraddha and Samadhana is impossible without the presence of
Vairagya. These six qualities should be taken as one because they are
interrelated and they together can bring the body, mind and intellect under
control, the intense desire for liberation from the wheel of births and
deaths with its concomitant evils of old age, disease, delusion and sorrow.
If one is equipped with the above three qualifications (Viveka, Vairagya
and Shad-Sampat), then Mumukshutva, the intense desire for liberation
will come without any difficulty.
