FAQ 1. Traditionally, we have been told that our ultimate goal is moksha. What exactly is moksha? Is it the same as continuous happiness? 2. Won't we get bored with continuous happiness? 3. I think progress will stop if we become satisfied continuously 48
Lecture 3: FAQ Audience Question: What about Moksha? Moksha what is moksha? 1. Dukhporrvak Jeena 2. Dukh se Mukti = moksha 3. Nirantar sukh poorvak jeena = swatantrata Ok, what is naturally acceptable to you out of these three options?...the last one. Moksha means dukh se mukti. Nirantar sukhpoorvak jeena matlab swatantrata If you live in swatantrata then number # 2 is already included in it. If you live in state of continuous happiness, it ensures you are free from miseries/unhappiness Dekhiye samajh me nahi aata hai to har chij bahut badi lagti hai. Audience Question: Sir, tab to moksha aur nirantar sukh ek hi cheej hai? Swatantrata, moksha se aage ka cheej hua na. Dukh se mukta ho gaye to sukhi hone ke guaranty thodi hai lekin sukhi ho gaye to ye guaranty hai ki dukh se mukt ho gaye Abhi itna bhi dhyan nahi rakhte hum dukh se mukt hona hi paryapt nahi hai kyonki sukhi hona chahte hain... To, sukh poorvak jeene ka upay chahiye 49
