She died on 6 June 1999.

At first given in one of the churches his audiences grew until it was necessary to engage the town hall, which held about three thousand. Without aiming at popularity Moorhouse filled this hall with people of all classes and creeds, who listened with the greatest intentness to all he said. Moorhouse had realised that it was necessary that there should be a worthy cathedral at Melbourne.

12, the Yogasutras state that this discerning principle then empowers one to perfect sant (tranquility) and udita (reason) in one's mind and spirit, through intentness. This leads to one's ability to discern the difference between sabda (word), artha (meaning) and pratyaya (understanding), and this ability empowers one to compassionately comprehend the cry/speech of all living beings.The Yoga-darsana: The sutras of Patanjali with the Bhasya of Vyasa – Book 3 GN Jha (Translator); Harvard University Archives, pages 108-126The Yoga Philosophy TR Tatya (Translator), with Bhojaraja commentary; Harvard University Archives, pages 108-109 Once a yogi reaches this state of sanyama, it leads to unusual powers, intuition, self- knowledge, freedoms and kaivalya, the soteriological goal of the yogi.

74 The example that received the greatest attention was the story about a "woodcock genius" who set his own broken leg and applied a cast to the injury: Charles Copeland > At first he took soft clay in his bill from the edge of the water and seemed > to be smearing it on one leg near the knee. Then he fluttered away on one > foot for a short distance and seemed to be pulling tiny roots and fibers of > grass, which he worked into the clay that he had already smeared on his leg. > Again he took some clay and plastered it over the fibers, putting on more > and more till I could plainly see the enlargement, working away with > strange, silent intentness for fully fifteen minutes, while I watched and > wondered, scarce believing my eyes. Then he stood perfectly still for a full > hour under an overhanging sod, where the eye could with difficulty find him, > his only motion meanwhile being an occasional rubbing and smoothing of the > clay bandage with his bill, until it hardened enough to suit him, whereupon > he fluttered away from the brook and disappeared in the thick woods.

Shankara cautions that the guru and historic knowledge may be distorted, so traditions and historical assumptions must be questioned by the individual seeking moksha. Those who are on their path to moksha (samnyasin), suggests Klaus Klostermaier, are quintessentially free individuals, without craving for anything in the worldly life, thus are neither dominated by, nor dominating anyone else. Vivekachudamani, which literally means "Crown Jewel of Discriminatory Reasoning", is a book devoted to moksa in Vedanta philosophy. It explains what behaviors and pursuits lead to moksha, as well what actions and assumptions hinder moksha. The four essential conditions, according to Vivekachudamani, before one can commence on the path of moksha include (1) vivekah (discrimination, critical reasoning) between everlasting principles and fleeting world; (2) viragah (indifference, lack of craving) for material rewards; (3) samah (calmness of mind), and (4) damah (self restraint, temperance).D. Datta (1888), Moksha, or the Vedántic Release, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, New Series, Vol. 20, No. 4 (Oct., 1888), pp. 516 The Brahmasutrabhasya adds to the above four requirements, the following: uparati (lack of bias, dispassion), titiksa (endurance, patience), sraddha (faith) and samadhana (intentness, commitment).
