Visitor Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Why is Sanatan Dharma only connected from Prema and not also from liberation? As far as i know from my experience, Hinduism has always held Liberation (Moksha) as the goal of human life. Prema is something that is liberation and more. But surely Sanatana Dharma should also be derived from libertion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Liberation is available to both servants of the supreme lord as well as those who have no relationship with Him whatsoever. Sanatana dharma is only connected with performance of eternal duty (sanatana dharma), and some are liberated without consciousness, therefore perform no duty. The buddhist have a concept of Boddhisattwa, wherein a liberated person, out of compassion, descends to help others achieve what he has achieved. This is not possible because the type of liberation of the buddhist is cessation from existance, and if one does not exist, no compassion can be felt. Moksa is there in sanatana dharma, automatically. One who engages in eternal duty is indeed liberated from the pangs of materialistic disease, however, he is fully conscious of individual existance. Perhaps someone may refer the writer here to the explanation of the Atmarama verse in Ch Ch. Sukadeva Goswami was fully liberated, yet had desire to engage in sanatana dharma, and the separation is explained nicely by Lord Chaitanya to Srila Rupa Goswami. Hare Krsna, ys, mahaksadasa PS Sukadeva was unique in that he was attracted to hearing and chanting of the Glories of the Supreme Lord. Liberation, in itself, is not desirable to the bhakta, is seen as selfish salvationism. It is said that moksa is a handmaiden to the bhakta.
