The Only Way to Achieve Moksha

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

"When it comes to finding out the means to eradicate Karmas, the second set of

quotations (Jnaanaagni dagdha karmaanai …..) are to be considered. They are also

the ‘strong’ quotations because they have been said while discussing the Atma

Tattva comprehensively.

 

The purpose of the first type of quotation is to caution man that it is not

possible to escape the fruits of his wicked actions, once they are performed and

therefore he must exercise enough caution to desist from such actions.

 

The purpose of the second type of quotations is to stress the fact that however

much one may carry out noble acts, the circle of births doesn’t end. The only

way to overcome this is to eradicate the cause - viz., ignorance with the help

of knowledge, which alone is capable of cutting off the continuous chain of pain

and pleasure permanently.

 

We can easily make out that the latter type of quotations are ‘strong’. Thus,

even from the point of view of the scriptures, it can be undoubtedly said that

Moksha can be achieved only by the knowledge of the Self."
