never become free from suffering. This is the Akram path and
that is why one becomes free from suffering.
Those who recognize and become aware that it is
possible to be free from all bondage and that the vitarags can
give moksha and that the Gnan of the vitarag is a path to
moksha, then it is said that they have attained mithyatva darshan.
People criticize others by saying, “You are mithyatvi (the one
with the wrong darshan, or one who is ignorant).’ Arey! Are
you yourself samkit (one with right vision) that you are calling
others mithyatvi? And if you are samkiti then you would not
disrespect others in this way. And even if you are mithyatvi, you
would not disrespect a mithyatvi like yourself. Disrespecting
someone by calling him ‘mithyatvi’ is double the mithyatvi.
Mithyatva darshan is praise worthy darshan. It is only after this
darshan that one becomes aware of, ‘There is bliss in moksha
and not in the worldly life’, and then he becomes desirous of
moksha. His desire is for only samyak darshan (right vision),
however he wanders because he cannot go beyond mithya
darshan. Nonetheless such a person has a very deep desire to
take the path of liberation, when all the while the pudgal; non-
self complex is dragging him towards worldly life. In such a case
the separation will occur.
These two cannot be separated in a Muslim. A Muslim
will say, “God will take us up.” According to them, Allah takes
them to heaven or hell. That is why ‘Allah’ is trapped and they
have become burdensome to him.
Where does the path that leads to total liberation
(moksha) exist? It is in the path, which does not push aside the
interaction in worldly life (vyavahar) at all. When one pushes
aside the worldly life, it hinders and causes unhappiness to
others and that is precisely where there is no moksha. The path
to moksha is where there is complete worldly life (vyavahar) and
complete realization of the Self (nischay).
