Religious Context
Explanation:
મૂઢ = foolish, stupid; dull; dumb founded, motionless; infatuated; vacant minded, lacking in discrimination.

In religious context it "મૂઢ/Mudh" is a person who is infatuated by mundane or ordinary things of life. One who lacks discrimination between good and bad, satanic and divine. I refer to a verse 19 from Chapter 15 of Geeta - "યો મામેવસંમૂઢો જાનાતિ પુરુષોત્તમમ્, સ સર્વવદ્ભજતિ માં સર્વ ભાવેન ભારત." - "હે ભારત, આ પ્રમાણે મોહરહિત થઈને જે જ્ઞાની પુરુષ મને પુરુષોત્તમ સ્વરૂપે જાણે છે, તે સર્વજ્ઞ હોઈ મને સર્વ ભાવથી ભજે છે." - Krishna addresses Arjun as Bharat, "An individual who is free of ignorance, knowing me as the Supreme Divine, worships me with complete devotion, being a knower of all spiritual learnings."

  • અર્થાત્ શ્રવણ અને મનન પછી વિવેકજ્ઞાન થાય તો જ બંધનની નિવૃત્તિ થાય છે. - સાંખ્યદર્શન
