have it in your hands. Thereafter, You will have no worries (chinta), upadhi (suffering from outside) and the samadhi (the state in which no situation in the relative world affects the inner bliss) will prevail at all times. That is when you will realize that you are ready for moksha. There is nothing to worry about, so get your daughters married and your sons married. It is all good. There will be no problem.

Shouldn't you have to ask for it? If you went into a jewelry shop and just browsed around without asking anything, how would the jeweler know what you want? So, for moksha, divine vision
