Worldly Religions
Which Religion Is for Moksha?
Questioner: Can any seeker reach moksha if he
practices religion properly?
Dadashri: A seeker is partial (pakshapati), and who do
you think God is partial to? Surely He must be impartial
(nishpakshapati), now wouldn’t He be?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Those involved in partiality (paksha) will
never attain liberation (moksha). Yes, they may receive worldly
happiness. There is no moksha for those who are in the
‘standard’ (relative worldly religions). If you come ‘out of
standard’ then you can attain moksha. Here, we are ‘out of
standard’. Everyone comes here. Muslims, Jains and Vaishnavs,
they all come here.
All these different religions – the Jain religion, Vaishnav
religion, Shiva religion, Muslim religion – are all ‘relative’
religions. Not one of them is a ‘real’ religion. A ‘relative’ religion
means it will help you develop. However, it will not help you
‘develop fully’. And moksha is only for those who are ‘fully
developed’ (known the Self). One can attain moksha when,
despite having a body, the Atma (Self) within remains separate.
The Vitarag speech and nothing else, is the only solution
for moksha. Any other speech contains attachment (raag; my-
speech). Vitarag speech means the speech that does not hurt
