attached to something or other (mamatva). The attachment (mamata) continues and will continue to increase within. Only a Gnani can break this attachment, just as it is only the doctor's job to give you medicine. If you ask a grocer, "I have had a heart attack, give me some medicine for it", he will tell you to go to a doctor. People have not understood what the Lord had said and so they 'drink the medicine that was only meant for rubbing over skin.' What kinds of results can you expect then? You have moksha very close within you; the Self verily is moksha.

This mind will show you all kind of things. All of that simply needs to be 'seen' and 'known'. It is the nature of the mind to show you things and Your nature is to 'see' and 'know'. But if you become engrossed with the mind, if you get 'married' to it, then it will harass you. Moksha means freedom from the mind, body and speech. It is an independent state in which bliss remains unaffected, from one's mind as well as from the mind, body and speech of others. What is the nature of the mind, body and speech? As long as this 'shop' (the relative self; the body) exists then goods from this shop will be exchanged with goods of others shops.
The Lord has said that the kind of conduct (charitra) required to attain final moksha is not to be found anywhere in this day and age. Conduct that takes one into the celestial world is to be found. For liberation, one has to remain within the Agna of the Lord, and this type of conduct only arises after attaining the Self (atma charitra) and this leads to moksha.
This era is the best for liberation through Akram Vignan
Questioner: Is it true when they say there is no moksha in this era of the current time cycle?
Dadashri: The Lord's statement can never be wrong:

but what did Lord Mahavir say, "No jiva will attain moksha from this world in the current era of this time cycle." People have misunderstood this statement of the Lord. There are some who have even changed this statement and claim, "There is no moksha," and so they have stopped even trying to walk that path and have pulled others down along with them. But who says that you too have to be pulled down along with these people? The Lord has said, "In this current time cycle, in this galaxy, you cannot get a check for Rs: 100,000 but it is possible to get one for Rs: 99,999-99." i.e. direct liberation is not possible from this world but the path is still open through another world. At least you get that much in the current era of this time cycle! Actually you even get change of 99 cents on top of that!? Will that change not be helpful when you go to eat breakfast somewhere? Today they even charge you a commission of five cents to change a rupee, do they not? In the current era 'we' are able to write you a check for Rs. 99,999-99. Those who say that the direct path to moksha is not open should at least investigate and find out up to what point it is open. Investigate it! If a train does not go all the way to Baroda but only to the outskirts, should you not then at least get on that train? But what do people do instead? They close their doors and do not leave their home. Now whom can you blame for such misunderstanding? You are short of only 'one cent'; this is what the Gnani is conveying to you.

Of the six eras (Aras), the fifth era is the true and the best. It is called time of inferno (bhatthikaad). On one side there is the scientist (Akram Vignani) and on the other there is the furnace. No matter how much alloy is mixed with 'gold' (Self), the 'goldsmith' (Gnani) will be able to extract the 'pure gold' (the Self) for you. In the sixth era, there will be no 'goldsmiths'; there will only be the furnace. A life of hell will be there but no one to help find a way out. In the fifth era there is the longest reign of Lord Mahavir. The reign of other past Tirthankaras only
