Did you understand all that? This worldly life (sansar) itself is like a stream, that has been eternally flowing. Every living being (jiva) in it, will definitely attain final liberation (moksha), sooner or later, and that is its sequential order (kram). The sequential order means that in one smallest fraction of time (samaya), a hundred and eight living beings (jivas), are definitely going to moksha; in the flow of the stream!
Questioner: All the one hundred and eight jivas that go to moksha, where do they all come from?
Dadashri: From all the fifteen locations (kshetras) in the universe. A hundred and eight of them, go to moksha.
Just like a parade of policemen, passing by in rows of four, one behind another, on this side we have a stream of a hundred and eight souls (jivas), going from interaction in the world (vyavahar) to final liberation (moksha); entering the place of the Liberated Souls (Siddha kshetra). And the same number of souls enter into the worldly state (vyavahar rashi), from the undetermined, non-interactive state (avyavahar rashi). Therefore, in worldly interaction (vyavahar), there is no increase or decrease in the number of souls, not a single soul increases, or decreases. What would you call a soul that interacts in the world (vyavahar jiva)? All those that have been given a name are interactive in the worldly life (vyavahar), and those who have not been given a name, have not yet come into interaction in the world (vyavahar). And those who have lost their names, have gone to the abode of Liberated Souls (Siddha kshetra).

Questioner: You say that there is no one above us, is there not the location of Liberated Souls (Siddha lok) above us?
Dadashri: That is the realm of the Liberated Souls (Siddha lok), that is the place of the Absolute Souls (Siddha kshetra), they are all those who have gone to the final liberation
