Aptavani-4
Dadashri: Moksha is only through awakened awareness. What does unawareness (ajagruti) mean? It is unawareness when, as a result of differences in opinion with others (matbhed), you have dissension. A person is considered awakened when he has the awareness of what is beneficial and what is harmful (for the Self); whereas, the person that does not have this awareness, is in a state of bhaavnindra. Bhaavnindra is to sleep with one's eyes open. And dravyanindra is when one sleeps with one's eyes closed. What is the reason for matbhed? It is bhaavnindra.
Questioner: Does it mean that jagruti and moksha are one and the same?
Dadashri: The awakened awareness of the Self is Kevalgnan itself; it is itself liberation. There is no other difference. But awakened awareness is not the result of moksha. Moksha is the result of awakened awareness. “Awakened awareness is the mother of moksha.'
Some people say to me, “Dada, I do not want to go to moksha.” When a person tells me something wrong like that, I say to him, “You may not want moksha, but you do want awareness, do you not?', and he will answer, “Yes, I definitely want awareness.' So then I ask him, 'Do you want to complete that awareness?', and he will say, “Yes, I want to complete it.' This way, I give them a 'ticket’ right away. They will not take a free ticket, but they will pay money for it! This is how people are; they do not understand what is beneficial to them, and what is harmful.
Absolute awareness is itself moksha. Absolute awareness itself is Kevalgnan. If you have ninety-nine percent awareness, you add one percent to it, then at a hundred percent there is kevalgnan.
Experience of the Self means that the experiences you had
