I think there can be different ways .If you do something entirely for the love of it (not for fame or money or for any materialistic pleasure) genuinely from your heart and soul, wont that show you a path takingyou to God? e.g. I love music and Indian Classical music has a lot of potential. If one completely immerses oneself in meaningful music (I am not talking about superficial ...sorry to say....pop or film music),wont it lead to a pathtaking you to God? > > What if you dont chant mantras but help the needy, the poor, try to be good to be others , never intensionally hurt people ...wont that lead you to a path reaching God? > > just a thought > Manoshi > > sanjaytechnology <sanjaytechnology> wrote: > All: > > There has been some level of discussion on Moksha on and off today. > I would say one thing, whenever the desire to do something wrong > pops-up (greed, lust, anger, possessiveness, fear, excessive > sexuality...) just let go and pray to God with your heart.
