अनेनैव क्रमेणैतौ बन्धमोक्षौ व्यवस्थितौ ।
भावनातानवं मोक्षो बन्धो हि दृढभावना ॥ १२० ॥

anenaiva krameṇaitau bandhamokṣau vyavasthitau |
bhāvanātānavaṃ mokṣo bandho hi dṛḍhabhāvanā || 120 ||

Thus as the minds of the ignorant are never cleansed from the taint of their favourite objects, so they are never free from their bondage in this world; like the liberated sage by his want of earthly attachment. Because it is the parvitude of our desires that contributes to our liberation, while the amplitudes of our wishes lead us to our continued bondage in this world.
