Two Schools of Thought

[Guest guest]

I want to thank Sundar for his pertinent observations. We know from our

ordinary experience that even for smaller achievements in life we need to make

some efforts/sacrifice. Moksha being the highest goal, I find it impossible to

conceive that it can be obtained without any effort. I would like to quote a

upanishadic verse which says: (Shreyastcha Preyascha Manushyametha thou,

Sampariktya Vivinakthi Dheeraha.......) There are two paths - the good and

the pleasant. The wise and discriminating choose the good etc. In the scheme

of things, I am unable to reconcile the fact that living a life of comfort with

a license to do what we please (except for the societal restrictions) has no

relation to obtaining moksha.
