SOME THOUGHTS ON MOKSHA----15

[Guest guest]

SAI RAM Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

Let us take a look at some more statements of Swamy on Moksha.

 

Satya Sai Speaks Vol.34 p132-3

 

" Man aspires for Mukti (liberation). What is Mukti? It is not the attainment a heavenly abode. Mukti means freedom from suffering. You need to have Mukti

at three levels--body, mind and the soul. For example, you are hungry. When you eat food, your hunger is satiated. This is also a kind of Mukti. You are suffering from a disease. You take a medicine and get cured. This is also a Mukti. All this is related to the body. At the mental level, Mukti means controlling the vagaries of the mind. But true liberation lies in understanding the principle of the Atma which neither comes nor goes. This is termed as Nirvana. "

 

Satya Sai Speaks Vol.9 P181

 

" To reach this stage of Bliss, man must live a life of sadhana. If you take one step after another, however short the step, you can walk even a hundred mile. The Icha-sakti (Will Power)

has to be sharpened and shaped as an instrument for progress. "

 

Satya Sai Speaks Vol.5,P61-62

 

" Liberation is just awareness of Truth, the falling of the scales of delusion from the eye. It is not a special suburb of selct souls; it is not a closed monopoly of expert sadhakas.

Like the (river) Godavari losing its form, its name and the its taste in the sea, liberation dissolves the name and form, aptitudes and attitudes. You are no more a separate, particular individual. The raindrop has merged in the sea, from where the drop arose. Of course, there was no bondage at any time, and no prison; there was only a fixation in the mindthat one was bound, that one was in prison, that one was limited and finite.
