What is liberation?

What is Moksha (liberation)? It is giving up the Anatma, the unreal. Suppose you want a glass of fruit juice, unless you throw away the water already in the glass, you cannot pour juice into it. Similarly, unless you give up worldly desires, Atmabhava (spirituality) cannot take root in you. When you spend your hours immersed in thoughts about God, you become free from evil ways. You will not be tempted to abuse others or harm them in any way. You begin to live in Love, accepting all that happens as His gift. Then your home verily becomes heaven on Earth; the joy that bubbles in your heart becomes the mark of Vaikunta (abode of Lord Vishnu), and the earnestness and care that you evince in your work will symbolise Kailasa (the abode of Lord Shiva).

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
