Moksha.
1/5 Once Párvatii posed a question to Shiva: “Who is competent for mokśha? Who can attain mokśha?” Shiva answered,
Átmajiṋánam idaḿ devi paraḿ mokśaeka sádhanam;
Sukrtaermánavo bhútvá jiṋániicenmokśamápnuyát.
Self-knowledge is the greatest means to attain salvation.

People are born as human beings due to their past good saḿskáras, but to attain non-qualified liberation they will have to attain self-knowledge.

Mokśa is átmajiṋána. What is átmajiṋána? Átmajiṋána means “self-realization” – not “self-knowledge” Suppose you know of a flower.

3/5 Here there are three aspects:

the knower, you;

the known, the flower;

and the knowledge, the link between you and the flower.
But in the case of self-realization, the knower, the known, and the knowledge are all one.
If you know your self (in the sense of átmajiṋána),

4/5 knower and known are one. The link between knower and known is knowledge – and there is no question of even a link there.

Self-realization is mokśha. What happens there is oneness. Oneness means seeing Brahma in all objects. And who is competent to get mokśa?

5/5 “When one attains human form through good actions, one becomes adhikarii (competent) to attain mokśha.”
