Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hari OMThe postings on " Some thoughts on MOKSHA" were commenced sometime back.. Soemehow, it has experienced a chequered progress. Not much progress could be made. Some members sought clarification from me on one of the postings. This humble self succumbed to the temptation of offering clarification to the queries through this forum instead of going ahead with the postings. "Many may be under the impression that it is a rare honour that only a few secure(moksha) or that it is some area like Paradise or a colony of the Elect or a Height that some heroic souls alone can climb up to. No. Moksha is something which all must achieve, whether they are heroic or not: even those who deny it have to end by realising it. For, every one is even now seeking it when he seeks joy and peace: and, who does not seek joy and peace? Moksha is when you have lasting joy and lasting peace. Tired with temporary joys and transient peace, man will at last endeavour to know the secret of permanent joy and peace, that is to say, of Moksha, Liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Bali Ckakravarty(emperor) demonstarted through his thyaga swabahava (sacrificing nature) that if one sacrifices everything, one will attain moksha(liberation). The real sacrifice involves two things. First, to realise the cause of our bondage in this life, and second, to severe this bondage. Man mistakenly thinks that wealth, a family etc. are his bondages, and that by severing connections with them he will be able to sacrifice everything and become eligible to attain Moksha. But these are not the real bondage of man. His real bondage is his ignorance in identifying himself with his body. He who cuts off this bondage as Bali did, will attain Moksha. For cutting off this bondage a purifications of the heart is very necessary. Purification of the body with soap and water and by applying perfume does not result in purification of the mind. In Kaliyuga, namasmarana (constant remembrance of God) is the easiest way to purify one`s mind; and surrendering to God with a pure mind is the surest way to attain moksha, says Bhagawan Satya Sai Baba" (to be continued) G.Balasubramanian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Dear All, What is seen that every one is behind wealth very rare for health and one in Millions for Mukti.There is very high craze for entertainment,enjoyment " SharabKhori,Zanakhori and Badmashi"(I didn't find very approptiate words in english for these three words" for which one need wealth although health is too formost for all but no one care for that. When a human came on earth his age is fixed 100 years with 4 periods each of 25 years ..Larakpan Grahsat Vanpan Sanyas but life is reducing day by day and average life span is reached in south asia 60 yrs this is all because of unusual wastage of health ( Ayashi). I request all Shiv Bhakt to save health which is first to get all.
