karma (punya) and that is relative religion. And that which frees one from credit and debit karma is Real religion. Final liberation is getting freedom from all attachments of the worldly life and attaining the state of Siddha (absolutely enlightened Ones without a body). For the one who desires freedom, nothing in the universe can bind him! There is no doer in the universe, not even God. The universe runs on scientific circumstantial evidences! Worshipping child Krishna takes one to Vaikunth (that which contains the chit tendencies). Devotion to Yogeshwar Krishna (Krishna as the enlightened One) along with Self- realization leads one to moksha. Lord Krishna has used the word ‘I’ in the Bhagwat Gita for the Self. He has not used it for His relative self, the friend of Arjuna. There are two types of meditation. One is the meditation associated with the body complex (pudgal), such as meditation of the kundalini (corporeal energy), meditation of a guru, meditation of a mantra, etc., and the other type of meditation is the meditation as the Self. This meditation leads to the nirvikalp samadhi (the egoless state). Nirvikalp is a state of no ‘I-ness’. Nirvichaar is a state without thoughts, a state like a stone; Except for a Gnani, nirvikalp state cannot be found anywhere. Sankhya and yoga are the two wings on which one can fly to liberation. Sankhya means to know. To know the mind, speech and body and to know the intellect, chit and ego is called Sankhya. Without yoga, without the devotion of the mind (to the guru), one cannot make progress. ‘Shiva’ means kalyan swaroop (the enlightened One who liberates others). Samadhi is freedom from any effects of difficulties of body (vyadhi), of mind (aadhi) and from external situations (upadhi). 29
