Aptavani-4
crest of the universe where all liberated souls ascend and reside eternally), they exist in the state of Knower (Gnata), Seer (Drashta) and in absolute bliss (parmanandi). There, in Siddha gati, there is so much bliss, that should just a minute's worth of that bliss falls to earth it would create such an abundance of joy in this world, that would last every single day of an entire year!
The Nature of Moksha Questioner: So after attaining moksha, one never takes birth again?
Dadashri: Who would want to come back to this chaotic mess? This is something that gives great misery. Don't you see how much dependency there is in the world? It is like believing yourself to be happy when you are intoxicated with alcohol. This worldly life (sansar) is like some sort of possession. You are possessed by the 'ghosts' of the mind, speech and body! You will realize it when you have a toothache. When a king has a toothache, what does he love, his kingdom or his queen?
Questioner: Neither.
Dadashri: This is a horrendous difficulty. Whereas in moksha, there prevails natural bliss.
Questioner: In spite of living in the worldly life (sansar), can a person experience moksha?
Dadashri: If you tie a blind man to a pole, winding a lot of rope around him and then, without touching him, from behind him you slowly cut one round of the rope with a blade, would he not know?
Questioner: Yes, he would.
Dadashri: He would know that the bondage is broken from that side. That is how one experiences moksha.
Moksha means a sense of liberation, and you do not feel
