________________ 218 Aptavani-8 When You Find the Giver of Moksha, You Find Moksha Questioner: Can you say that liberation (moksha) is an end to expectation? Dadashri: No, the nature (swabhav) of the Self is liberation (moksha). Questioner: So then why have so many people repeatedly, talked only about the ways to attain moksha? Dadashri: In reality, what it is, is that they talk about the moksha of their own language. But no one really cares about moksha. Everyone is only interested in, 'What about me; I am someone!' That is all they want. And should they ever meet a true Purush (Gnani), then without a doubt, they will find the path that leads to moksha! All these are just self-serving intentions, and they are engulfed in a battle of pride (maan-taan) and hum (ego); they have not attained anything from it. I (Hum) means the ego (ahamkar); therefore, when the ego ends, one becomes Bhagwan (God). Questioner: Can one attain moksha, by asking for it? Dadashri: You can get everything by asking, provided there is a giver of moksha (mokshadata) present. He must be a giver of moksha, who himself dwells in moksha; however, you should not talk about moksha with anyone outside. There you should talk about religion (dharma), and they will guide you towards a good religion. Questioner: Where can you find someone who can give you liberation (moksha)? Dadashri: This here is the only one. You can come whenever you want to. Or else you can come after your friend has attained moksha. Once he gets a taste of it, come after you have asked him.
