Moksha
Salvation in Hinduism highlights concept moksha path
Is it not true that only
after gaining Enlightenment
(Self
Realization) that one reaches the stage of Moksha
Salvation.
Moksha is that ephemeral truth of life without which human beings cannot
sustain themselves. The cause of the human body... the process of evolution...
all leads to our Soul
Atman
gaining liberation from the cycle of birth
and death (Moksha) forever.
Moksha
being the ultimate truth of life... none can just do without! In present life
we may or may not pursue Moksha as the ultimate goal of all life... inherently
and spiritually
our Soul Atman is bound to pursue this one and only goal in the life of every
Soul Atman in the Cosmos.
If gaining liberation from cycle of birth and
death (i.e. achieving the stage of Moksha) is the only goal of every soul our
atman within... and knowing the fact that our body is but clothing for our Soul
Atman... our Soul Atman... plays the governing role! Whatever be our present goal
in life... the ultimate goal of our cosmic life remains the same, gaining Moksha!
(Salvation). Attaining
the state of Moksha Salvation is reaching the Mount Everest of physical manifested
life. There is nothing beyond Moksha that is required to be achieved in this life.
Moksha is that stage in the life of a human being when one cuts across all the
shackles of senses and the mind.
Unless we gain absolute control over the five senses and the mind... we cannot
achieve Moksha in this life.
Gaining absolute control over the senses and the mind is a complex process. One
has to diligently take control of all the senses one by one and the moment we
establish absolute control over all the five senses... controlling mind is easy
to achieve! Our five senses help us live the physical manifest form of us. They
have got nothing to do with our true inner
self... our soul atman within us
What is the correct
process that we can gain absolute control over the five senses and ultimately
the mind for us to achieve the stage of Moksha? For cutting across the various
barriers of senses... we need to maintain more and more purity in our day-to-
day dealings. The more pure our thought process... the sooner shall we be able
to gain control over the senses.
Our Ultimate Reality
Highly acclaimed reference
for wealth, health, meditation, Astral projection, Spiritual evolution.
As
practiced in Jainism...
it is the concept of Bhava Karma
which plays the governing role. Before committing any physical action... we must
have thought over it. If we are awarded -10 points for committing a grave sin
like murder then we also get negative marking for negative thoughts incurred by
us before committing the murder. Does this mean that committing a sin only in
thoughts attracts negative marking... yes! Even by thinking wrong of others...
we are incurring a sin and this result in our getting established on a lower pedestal
on the spiritual plane.
For attaining Moksha... if we need to establish
control over the five senses then it becomes mandatory for us to follow the concept
of Bhava Karma and desist from even thinking wrong of others. This is the only
process for maintaining absolute purity of thought. The concept of Bhava Karma
in Jainism has no parallel in the History of mankind. It is only traveling on
the path of Bhava Karma that Saints and Sages were able to control anger
and purify their thinking patterns.
As we gain more and more purity of
thoughts on the path of attaining the stage of Moksha... we shall find that gaining
absolute control over mind is within our reach. Gaining control over the five
senses is the most difficult part in the life of a human
being on the path to attaining Moksha. But it is a goal not unachievable!
Patience and persistence both play a vital role in establishing firm control over
the five senses. We have to practice Patience and Persistence at each and every
stage lest we may not be able to gain Moksha in this life.
Establishing
control over anger is only possible after we have developed a habit of forgiving
one and all... whatever be the cause or the reasoning! Forgiving one is a one-sided
affair. Compassion is required to be practiced at every stage of the physical
manifested life. Without Compassion and the Power
of Forgiveness... none reaches any worthwhile stage on the path of
spirituality. Every true Saint or a Sage has developed the power of Forgiveness
to its extreme for it is only after controlling anger that one reaches the stage
of Moksha in this life.
Broadly
speaking... to attain the stage of Moksha... we need to gain Kaivalya
Jnana (Omniscience) and this is possible only after establishing absolute
control over the Senses and the Mind. The moment one gains control over the Senses
and the Mind... one reaches the stage of Nirvikalpa
Samadhi... the stage when one can indulge in one-to-one dialogue with
God
Almighty.
Maintaining absolute purity of thought by practicing the path of Bhava Karma...
practicing Compassion (by which one develops control over anger) Patience and
Persistence ... we reach nearer our cosmic goal of life... attaining Moksha! There
is nothing nobler in life than reaching the stage of Moksha in present life.

| Immortality
meaning and concept
Immortality
... a word framed by Lord and not coined by a Human Being has altogether a different
meaning than we self centered understand! Who becomes immortal? One who after
intense Meditation is able to live longer compared to a normal Human Being or
one, who does not have to manifest a body again and again and rests in peace in
Baikuntha (Abode of God totally different from Heaven).

God
the Creator and Man Gods
Creator:
"Brahman, the Creator" is one. Gods can be many. Brahman created the Universe
and in it all Atmans (Souls). These Atmans manifest themselves in different forms
to purify themselves. Once purified ... they attain Moksha (liberation). The purified
Atmans have been accorded a status by the Society ... we call them God. Man Gods...
are those Human Beings, those jivas who in their Life time have liberated themselves
from the cycle of birth and death and have become immortal (amar). They are known
as amar for they shall not manifest again.

Human Evolution and
becoming Immortal
All
these enlightened
souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed
had transcended life itself. They had become immortal in the true sense that they
would not have to indulge again in manifesting life thereafter. Life had truly
come full circle for these godly souls.

Letter to all
mankind and Immortality
Understand
the noble goal of "Atman" within you ... cause for all misery and fear vanishes.
None can cause harm to any "Atman" being immortal. The "Atman" can not itself
liberate to rejoin the "Lord" until it has cleansed itself (Karma
is exhausted) through various manifested physical forms.

Humans
Beings and becoming immortal
It
is absolutely clear that no human being can directly either go to heaven or the
kingdom of God. The domain of heaven and hell and also the kingdom of God is open
for soul atmans only. In the physical manifest form of life as a human being or
any other form... any wishful thinking of becoming an immortal does not exist
in the cosmic system. | |
