Dadashri: Yes, it is true, but that is the final stage of
liberation. It is the secondary stage. The first stage of liberation
is where you experience a sense of freedom from inner turmoil

The second stage of liberation (permanent moksha) is
attained when all the karma are completely exhausted (settled)
and this is freedom from the cycles of birth and death. The first
stage of liberation (moksha) should be attained here and now.
I experience this first stage of moksha all the time. Liberation
should be such that even while one lives amongst the worldly
things, one remains unaffected by them. Such a stage of
liberation is possible through Akram Vignan (the spiritual
science of the stepless path to Self-realization)!

a bungalow, then I will be happy. I will buy a car, then I will be
happy.” They keep on doing this but no happiness comes their
