मोहग्रस्त = One who is bereft of the spiritual knowledge and is attached to the worldly belongings which are perishable and transitory, and thus are not real and permanent. Through true divine knowledge, one should strive to remove the worldly shackles and develop a communion with God.

Literally:
मोह means fascination or enchantment and can also mean (in some contexts) illusion.
ग्रस्त means, suffers from, or is afflicted with.

When the words are considered together it could mean "in the grip of illusion"
A proper translation, can be given only by knowledgeable people, when the context in which the words occur is also quoted.

Rajnishji's translation is good in the absence of this context.
