Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga

Among the meanest of the human beings, taamasik ones are those who have least enmity to Sri Vishnu. Among the raajasik ones, the luminous are the wise ones devoted to the Resplendent Lord. The saatvik ones who are purely saatvik. raajasik ones who are saatvik to some extent, saatvik ones associated in equal measure with raajasik and those saatvik ones associated with taamasik become differentiated in classification according to the predominance of one or the other of the attributes. Beginning with the saatvic attributes each person becomes fit for deliverance starting from the Gods downwards. „With luminosity comes wisdom‟, thus has it been said. Those who are more saatvic and similarly those who are not so fit go to the obscure darkness become fit for deliverance. Those who are more raajasic or the three attributes are more or less equal, they become the „nitya samsaari‟, those who are ever engaged in temporal life.
42. Serenity, self-restraint, austerity, purity, forbearance, uprightness, wisdom, knowledge and faith are the attributes in a Brahmin.
