"To acknowledge a polar relation between self-effort and grace as a feature characteristic of Moksha enables the avoidance of the extremes of moral legalism and graceless moralism on the one side and amoral lawlessness and supra-ethical mysticism on the other. It is the affirmation of moral conscience but as having a more than moral foundation. Being precedes action in everything that is, including man, although in man as the bearer of freedom previous action determines present being. Moksha, therefore, phenomenologically at least understood strictly from the self restricted perspective of the striving seeker, is not exclusively God’s work utterly apart from man’s latent resources and endowment."
