Moksopaya [sanskrit]

This Sanskrit edition of the Moksopaya. It is a large philosophical text dealing with “the science of liberation”. Similar to the Yoga-vasistha in content, the Mokshopaya-shastra was likely its predecessor, said to contain 30,000 shlokas (metrical verses). One of the core philosophies of the texts teaches the non-existence of cognitive objects; while holding such a view leads to an attitude of dispassion towards worldly matters.

Verse 6.63.6

स आत्मा तच्च विज्ञानं तच्छून्यं ब्रह्म तत्परम् ।
तच्छ्रेयः स शिवश्शान्तः सा विद्यापरमा स्थितिः ॥ ६ ॥

sa ātmā tacca vijñānaṃ tacchūnyaṃ brahma tatparam |
tacchreyaḥ sa śivaśśāntaḥ sā vidyāparamā sthitiḥ || 6 ||
