Aptavani-8
And you have to stay for one avatar (lifetime) to reap the
rewards for that, and it would feel as though you already have
liberation (moksha) right here! What would be the point if you
did not experience liberation (moksha) here and now? Otherwise
you would only get conned by everyone in this Kaliyug (Current
era of the time cycle characterized by lack of unity in thought,
speech and action). If you sent someone you know, out to buy
vegetables, he would take out a commission, is there any telling
about Kaliyug? So it (moksha) has to be guaranteed. This is the
guarantee ‘we’ give you. Then, the amount of benefit you receive;
will depend on how much You abide by ‘our’ Agnas. Besides, the
awareness of your own Self will be with you all the time, it will
be there continuously. Even when you are at work in the office,
that awareness will be there. If the work is a bit sticky (demanding),
then after you finish that work, the awareness will come back.
If the deed is sticky (difficult), it would be like water
coming out of a half-inch pipe, and if you put your hand under
the tap, it would not move under its stream. But if you held your
hand out, under a one and a half inch pipe where the water is
gushing out with force, your hand will move away. There are
many heavy sticky karmas like that, then they can really shake
you up. We do not have any problem with that either. Because
do you not want to clear your accounts in just one lifetime? You
cannot go to final liberation (moksha) without clearing your
karmic accounts (hisaab)!
Questioner: If we do not clear our accounts (hisaab),
does it mean we have to go through rebirth (punarjanma)?
Dadashri: Yes, that is precisely why there is rebirth
(punarjanma). So the karmic account (hisaab) has to be
completely cleared and then you can get somewhere.
Illusion Is the Cause of Birth and Death
Questioner: So that would mean that if there is another
birth, then it is the same Atma that goes there?
