S14 of the Utpattiprakaraṇa Mokṣopāya (circa 16th-17th century)

The Mokṣopāya or Mokṣopāyaśāstra is a

Yogavāsiṣṭha.[6]

Philosophy

The text of the Mokṣopāya shows that a unique philosophy has been created by the author. It taught a

jñāna) and detachment (vairāgya).[7]

It is only by one's own effort (pauruṣa) that one can be liberated from the bonds of existence. For one who knows the reality, "fate" (daiva) does not mean anything, something like "fate" does not exist and has, accordingly, no consequences at all.[8][9]
