this is from "bhajagovindam" popularly believed to be composed by Adi Sankarar (but some people do not agree.).

Its approximate meaning will be-
From the company of noble souls (good people) comes non-attachment, from that arises freedom from the delusion (that this world is for real) and that will give rise to an immovable "chittam"- which can mean intelligence, mind or heart. From that nischalachittam you can get jeevanmukti, moksham.

to my questioning mind it looks, once nissangatvam is got, one is not attached to anything and the mind, heart or intelligence - whatever meaning we give to the word "chittam" - becomes unaffected and immovable (nischala). the feeling of infatuation - that this world is for real, and all desires caused by that notion also come to an end. and this is said as giving moksham. so, these three- nirmohatvam, nischalachittam and jeevanmukti are simultaneous and not cause and effect, i feel.
