Dadashri: There is only one path to moksha (ultimate liberation) and not two. When you look, you will see that there is only one path that leads to moksha. Gnan (knowledge of the Self), darshan (vision of the Self), charitra (conduct) and tapa (internal penance) are the four pillars of moksha. And when you look, you will notice that they are always the same four pillars. Then the roads that lead to them may be different. Some are Kramic paths, in which one does chanting and penance (japatapa) for one’s progress; climbing up cumbersomely one step at a time.

Another one is the Akram marg, which does not require you to climb any steps, but it simply puts you on an elevator (lift)! Go for whichever path that suits you. Do you want to take the lift, or would you rather climb?

Questioner: Wouldn’t it be easier and straightforward to take the lift?

Dadashri: Then come to me, and within an hour you will have it in your hands. Thereafter, you will have no worries (chinta), upadhi (suffering from outside) and the samadhi (the state in which no situation in the relative world affects the inner bliss) will prevail at all times. That is when you will realise that you are ready for moksha. There is nothing to worry about, so get your daughters married and your sons married. It is all good. There will be no problem. All you have to do is remain in my Agnas (directives). Will you be able to stay in my Agnas?

Questioner: Why not? This is all I need. The other happiness is just temporary.

Dadashri: For infinite lifetimes, you have only enjoyed the transitory happiness. For millions of lifetimes, you have been like this, and you are still like this today. In fact, you are even worse. As long as you have artadhyan and raudradhyan, you cannot call yourself a true devotee of God. These devotees may appear wise and passive, but if you irritate them even slightly, they will strike back! You would not call them true devotees. They may have done darshan (see or visit with devotion) of God’s murti (stone effigy of idol), but they have failed to recognise the God that sits within the idol. Have they not been doing darshan of idols over innumerable lifetimes? They have not recognised God, have they? When it comes to God, people do His darshan very superficially, but when they eat, they chew their food slowly and deliberately to see if there is any cardamom or nutmeg in it. Moreover, this has gotten worse! Now sir, when do you plan on going to moksha?

Questioner: Now, will you show us what the solution is?

Dadashri: The solution is for you to ask the Gnani Purush: ‘Sir, give me liberation’. But you do not even say a thing, do you? You do not even have the desire for liberation! Should you not have to ask for it? If you went into a jewellery shop and just browsed around without asking anything, how would the jeweller know what you want? So, for moksha, divine vision or whatever else you may want, just fill out a tender (order; list). ‘We’ will give you everything in just one hour.
