Ashtavakra Gita 16.10 -

Moksha denotes inner freedom, redemption. This actually means that when the sādhanā for gaining liberation attains fruition, the seeker must feel absolutely free in his heart, mind and intelligence. Even the thought ‘I am liberated’ should not give rise to any kind of pride, undue elation. As long as he was seeking, it was an effort and, in a way, a load. Now that his seeking has attained fruition, he is relieved. In other words, he is what he should be: light, easy and natural. He should not feel like having won something great, and that he is distinguished from the rest. Moksha or freedom is verily a state of absolute lightness, ease and felicity.

Likewise, the Knower must be free of possessiveness even about his body. So many big and small bodies are being born. Amongst them, his also was born. It lives and moves like all others, thriving on air, water and other substances, none of which is the outcome of his or his forefathers’ efforts.

Neither the world nor his body is his. How can anything then belong to him? Everything is part of the world, which is not his. If he still feels any possessiveness, he is not a Knower or yogi.

The fundamental point is that the mind should become free, pure and sublime. True, moksha is a priceless goal, rare to achieve. There is no place for pride or conceit in it. Therefore, if a Knower were to be smitten by pride, be it on any ground whatever, it will be too miserable indeed!
