It is rare to find mumkshaa in a human body. But even more rare is the sincerity of mumukshaa. People do want to disentangle themselves from bondage and also want to experience supreme bliss. But they want all this in a manner similar to any other object, in other words, through action, emotion or state. Liberation is the natural state of the self, and is unavailable only due to ignorance - they are not convinced of this fact. How can one be liberated without the self? Even though the self appears disconnected, it is brahman, never disconnected from space time and objects. The liberation that is accomplished through this understanding is extremely rare. Only this is the identity of a sincere seeker of liberation, and this is only accomplished not by any action, emotion or state, but only through the contemplation of the identity of the self and brahman. This contemplation is undoubtedly the subject of all Vedanta, of all Upanishadic statements.
