Chapter 19 outlines a clear path to liberation, which is presented as the ultimate duty of human birth. The text explicitly states that there is no liberation without knowledge, and knowledge cannot be attained without detachment. Therefore, the process begins with perceiving the world as transient. As long as the mind does not recognize the impermanent nature of worldly things, the idea of detachment cannot spark. Furthermore, one must overcome the false ego of "I am the body," which is described as a false bondage. True liberation involves realizing the Soul's true nature as self-luminous, pure consciousness, distinct from the body, senses, and mind.
