And you have to stay for one avatar (lifetime) to reap the rewards for that, and it would feel as though you already have liberation (moksha) right here! What would be the point if you did not experience liberation (moksha) here and now? Otherwise you would only get conned by everyone in this Kaliyug (Current era of the time cycle characterized by lack of unity in thought, speech and action). If you sent someone you know, out to buy vegetables, he would take out a commission, is there any telling about Kaliyug? So it (moksha) has to be guaranteed. This is the guarantee 'we' give you. Then, the amount of benefit you receive; will depend on how much You abide by 'our Agnas. Besides, the awareness of your own Self will be with you all the time, it will be there continuously. Even when you are at work in the office, that awareness will be there. If the work is a bit sticky (demanding), then after you finish that work, the awareness will come back.
If the deed is sticky (difficult), it would be like water coming out of a half-inch pipe, and if you put your hand under the tap, it would not move under its stream. But if you held your hand out, under a one and a half inch pipe where the water is gushing out with force, your hand will move away. There are many heavy sticky karmas like that, then they can really shake you up. We do not have any problem with that either. Because do you not want to clear your accounts in just one lifetime? You cannot go to final liberation (moksha) without clearing your karmic accounts (hisaab)!
Questioner: If we do not clear our accounts (hisaab), does it mean we have to go through rebirth (punarjanma)?
Dadashri: Yes, that is precisely why there is rebirth (punarjanma). So the karmic account (hisaab) has to be completely cleared and then you can get somewhere.
Illusion Is the Cause of Birth and Death
Questioner: So that would mean that if there is another birth, then it is the same Atma that goes there?
