worldly life will appear sweet so that one sinks deeper into it.
It would be better if it were bitter instead.
Relative religions tell you to do good deeds. Even if you
do the deed with ego, it is still considered good, because the
fruit of it will be merit karma (punya). You reap what you sow.
If you sow wheat; you will get wheat, and if you sow millet, you
will get millet. Therefore, only sow what is suitable for you. You
must get rid of your bad thoughts. But what people do instead
is they sow good seeds (deeds) and they also sow seeds from
the jujube bush (bad deeds)! So now the jujube bushes are
sprouting everywhere. The ‘relative’ is a ‘mixture’, and the real
is independent. Changes occur in the relative. Anything that has
been altered or adulterated in any way is ‘relative’; whereas the
‘real’ is pure. Whichever way you ‘slice’ the ‘relative’, would
you be able to find any ‘slice’ of real in it? The Vitarags have
said that there is much more beyond what you are doing.
Nevertheless, these are paths and people will gradually progress
in this way. Everyone believes that his religion is the ultimate
religion; nonetheless, his belief that his religion is right for him, is
what will make him ‘develop’ further.
One Needs the Vitarag Dharma for Moksha
Gnan is endless. However, there is no other Gnan
(knowledge) beyond that which the Vitarags have conquered.
The Vitarag never loses. Perhaps at times the body loses, the
mind loses or the speech loses; but never the Vitarag. The
Vitarags are so wise! The religion of the Vitarag is based on
siddhant (irrefutable principles of Self-realization) which is why
it yields immediate results (‘cash’ fruit). It gives you the ‘cash’
fruit of moksha!
The Lord, who is the giver of moksha, is impartial
(nishpakshapati). The Vitarag Bhagwan within you is impartial.
A Vitarag religion is a religion that is 360 degrees, which means
that it is a complete religion. It is a true religion, it has substance,
