Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "Q: O.K. Shall we consider that it is an acquired quality? A: If we consider it that way, it would mean that the Atma remains in the state of Mukti (in which it is not a Karayita) for some time and at other times it is bound by this quality. It follows that the Moksha which is eventually achieved has a beginning and an end. It has been already shown that anything which has a beginning and an end is impermanent. Thus, even the Moksha becomes an impermanent state. But by definition, is something which has no beginning or an end. By assuming that Atma acquires a quality, you are saying that true Moksha is not achievable at all! This notion is contrary to the Vedas. It is also inconsistent with human experience."
