Guest guest Posted January 25, 1996 Report Share Posted January 25, 1996 mani's response to <> Attaining Moksha does not mean getting rid of pain > and suffering.> is excellent. My own comments are not so technical. Physical suffering is real, stomache, cancer and so on. One gets suitable medication But man/women by nature has a thinking mind. And this strays/ wandes and feels concern and mental pain. I rhink this is where the seeking of nirvana or moksha is sought. A gyani probably uses his wisdom to reason and remove from his thoughts such mental anxieties and reaches a state of no anguish, one of contentment. I suppose one can call him a jeevan mukta. Such a step is arduous and not easy for everyone. Bhakti comes in here. By surrendering to Narayana in your thughts, easy to accomplish if one steadfastly sticks to acharams and prayers etc., one can achieve this mental peace. Such a step needs only discipline and acceptance, simpler than being wise. A karma yogi depends entirel on his detached action to keep up with his salvation search.
