Guest love_alliance18 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Can someone plz tell what actually "moksha" is and how can a human being achieve moksha? Is Moksha the divine meeting or is it freedom from materialistic world? Whatever it may be but where do the souls go? If we all are God's child then why are their differentiations like heaven and hell? With Best Regards, May God Bless All! Om Namah Shivaya!

ronin Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 It is freedom from materialistic world. There many ways to get liberated. some go through yoga, some through tantra. They say that souls go & unite with the ultimate god, but not for eternity. The rebirth cycle starts again. Try reading sankhya philosophy by kapila muni.

Om Namah Shivaya! moksha is realizing our true nature as spirit and our relationship to God. it is attained through surrender to God. We go back to God. The differences in this world ie: heaven and hell are due to our karma. ultimately there is no eternal hell. liberation is something available to all of us. and i have faith that one day we will all be back in a proper relationship with God.

kaisersose Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 This one I really like. Freedom from the material word or materialistic world. A more meaningful question is, why should one seek Moksha? Without addressing this fundamental question, all other questions on the topic are irrelevant. On observation, Moksha has no perceivable benefit, which makes it a useless exercise with wasted efforts. it is useless because, 1) It provides absolutely no benefit as long as the individual is alive. It does not get the aspirant more money, better health or any tangible improvement. All the alleged benefits are supposed to vest after death. But a dead person is already free from the material world! 2) Future lives: The future life is a completely different person. That person has no relation to you in anyway. Better to live life today, doing what you like to do, rather than plan for some obscure state after death, a state which has more than a 50% chance of being bogus.

Cheers Dear Kaiser, You have a long way to go. Understanding moksha and it's importance are some issues which not every human can understand. I am happy to know that you have a different view for life and enjoy it in your way. But moksha is important. With Best Regards, God Bless All! Om Namah Shivaya!
