Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 (12) Muktaanaam paramaa gatih -He who is the final Goal, that is reached by all the liberated souls. The limitations and bondages lived through by man are in fact the destiny of the matter vestures. Through delusion of un-understanding, we identify with them and come to suffer the consequent sense of imperfections. To liberate ourselves from the thraldom of matter is to realize the Self. Hence the Truth is defined as the Supreme Goal of the emancipated. This `Goal' to be attained is called as `Gati' in Sanskrit, " The Supreme Goal " (Paramaa Gatih) would necessarily be then that Goal, having reached which, there is no return: " There where having gone, men never return, That sacred place is My seat " -Geeta Ch. 15. St. 6. In Geeta. (Ch. 8. St. 6) even more explicitly the same idea has been asserted by Sri Krishna when He says: " O Son of Kunti, having reached Me, there shall be no more any re-birth " . Again, He defines the final Goal as " That having reached no return again " – Geeta Ch. 15, st.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
