Guest guest Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “You say that Moksha is possible only if there is no (identification with the) body. You have also said that if there is a body, there is pain and pleasure. It means that in the Moksha described by you, there is neither the body nor pain and pleasure. Can we then assume that the ‘Moksha’ described by you is a ‘shoonya’(zero)? Moksha is not nothingness. Let us see why. Lessons in Vedanta - 32 part IX Bhakti Mala, June - July 1998 It was mentioned in the previous lesson that "Saayujya" type of Mukti was the real Mukti and that being devoid of the body was its characteristic feature. If in the Moksha state, there is to be neither the body nor the pleasure & pain resulting from the body, what else remains in that state? Because nothing remains, our discussion had reached a stage when it had to be conceded that Moksha was a state of nothingness (Shoonya)."
