never become free from suffering. This is the Akram path and that is why one becomes free from suffering.
Those who recognize and become aware that it is possible to be free from all bondage and that the vitarags can give moksha and that the Gnan of the vitarag is a path to moksha, then it is said that they have attained mithyatva darshan. People criticize others by saying, "You are mithyatvi (the one with the wrong darshan, or one who is ignorant). 'Arey! Are you yourself samkit (one with right vision) that you are calling others mithyatvi? And if you are samkiti then you would not disrespect others in this way. And even if you are mithyatvi, you would not disrespect a mithyatvi like yourself. Disrespecting someone by calling him 'mithyatvi' is double the mithyatvi. Mithyatva darshan is praise worthy darshan. It is only after this darshan that one becomes aware of, "There is bliss in moksha and not in the worldly life and then he becomes desirous of moksha. His desire is for only samyak darshan (right vision), however he wanders because he cannot go beyond mithya darshan. Nonetheless such a person has a very deep desire to take the path of liberation, when all the while the pudgal; nonself complex is dragging him towards worldly life. In such a case the separation will occur.
These two cannot be separated in a Muslim. A Muslim will say, "God will take us up." According to them, Allah takes them to heaven or hell. That is why 'Allah' is trapped and they have become burdensome to him.
Where does the path that leads to total liberation (moksha) exist? It is in the path, which does not push aside the interaction in worldly life (vyavahar) at all. When one pushes aside the worldly life, it hinders and causes unhappiness to others and that is precisely where there is no moksha. The path to moksha is where there is complete worldly life (vyavahar) and complete realization of the Self (nischay).
Where is the path of moksha? It is where no one has any objection to what is being said regardless of the class or race of people listening. Whether there is a low cast person, a thief, a European or a Muslim, no one will have any objection to what is being said here in this satsang. Everyone will listen. This happened in front of Lord Mahavir and now it is happening here. The Lord was absolutely free from all insistence (niragrahi).
State of the Soul after moksha Questioner : Where does the Soul go after moksha?
Dadashri : Freedom! Siddhagati: the ultimate destination of a liberated Self! The Self goes to the Siddha Kshetra. There, every Atma is separate and in a state of knower-seer and absolute bliss. If you raise your hand here, the Siddha Lord has knowledge of it but He does not become one with what he sees (gneyakar). He just remains as the knower (gnanakar). He does not get bound by anything. Who would come back to suffer in a mother's womb? Only God knows the kind of suffering there is in it. All suffering is experienced in ignorance. A human being can suffer pain up to a certain limit after which he becomes unconscious.
Questioner : What happens to a person who dies remembering God?
Dadashri : When one dies with alertness he comes back in the human form and when he dies in coma he goes into the animal life form. The human life form is lost. At the time of death one can know where the soul will be taking birth. When the body is being taken to the funeral pyre and a good and unbiased person says, "He was a very noble man", then know that he is going to be born as a human again. If the people say, "Let's not talk about him," then know that he has lost the chance to be born as a human again. All this can be understood right here in this world.
