Mokshmala

Aum Sairam

Everything in the world except the soul is transitory and subject to destruction. The soul alone is, in its nature, eternal.

In the world none can protect a living being from death. Therefore the only shelter one should seek in human life is true religion. Religion alone can be man’s Savior.

The soul has been passing through a chain of births and deaths and it is high time for it to think of its freedom from Samsara - a cycle of births and deaths. One should consciously realize that the soul’s nature is freedom and so it is but natural to think of its salvation from Samsara.

This soul has always been and is alone. It will suffer the fruits of its deeds and it is the lone pilgrim.

All souls are independent and generally none is really related to the other.

This body is unholy; it gives out and absorbs many unholy and impure substances. I, as a soul, am quite independent of my body which is subject to disease and death.

Attachment, avarice, ignorance, sense of futility etc. are binding the soul.

One should devote his time to acquiring knowledge and meditation and thereby save oneself from the bondage of fresh actions.

To act with full knowledge of the nature of the self is the way of cut the knot
of binding actions.

To think of the fourteen worlds in which the soul wanders in bondage.

To determine that a man cannot attain the gift of right knowledge of the nature of the self while going the way of the world. Even if such knowledge may be had, conscious abidance in the true nature of the Self will become difficult. Hence one should feel intense obligation of the enlightened Guru who explains the true nature of the Self.

Therefore one should appreciate the rare possibility of obtaining the right preceptor of religion and one should lose no time in following his advice, should he be available.
