Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 How does one attain moksha? Does anyone think mother terresa or mahatma gandhi attained moksha? If not why? Quote
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Posted February 19, 2004 He who earns money by lawful means, he who honours his guests, who serves and pleases his fellowmen, attains liberation along with those learned in the sastras and those who are well established in the fundamental philosophy of the spirit. No one can cross the ocean of birth and death because he is a sanyasi or brahmachari. High ancestry, attainments in asceticism, the status of a monk, profound scholarship - nothing will help, by itself. There must also be the faithful and steady pursuit of swadharma, the study of the scriptures, like the Veda or the Bhagavad Gita, and a disciplined spiritual life of japam and dhyanam. [Ref:Prashanti Vahini, p44.] So becoming a sanyasi or a brahmachari does not gurantee that one will attain moksha Quote
