I am the Soul Who taught this ant? How did such a small insect know that it should go and get the grain? Brothers! That is the jiva's inherent strength. It has a dormant ahara sanjnya - the activity of enjoyment inspires it and it does the work. It has been the practice of the jiva from infinite time. It does not need to be taught. But the jiva has forgotten its original true disposition. If the self awakens then it can attain. It has forgotten the knowledge that whatever is to be achieved is by the self within the self. If we consider the fact, it is the jiva which is the sadhaka. The effort that is happening due to the original disposition of the jiva is the sadhana. The awakening of the Moksa disposition of the atma is the sadhya and its attainment is the siddhi - Moksa.
Gurudev has told us this in explanation of the fifth statement. Now we have to finalise the last and the most important statement. What needs consideration here is the question as to why, if Moksa were the greatest solution, was it placed as the last statement? Atma exists, it is eternal, it is the doer, it is the sufferer and Moksa exists – only a jiva in whose mind there is a properly established faith in these five statements can take to the path of self realisation. Why would a jiva, who has been first told about the path of self-realisation, get into the devoted pursuit at all, when it does not believe in the existence of the atma or has no faith in the existence of moksa? This is precisely why Srimadji has first ensured that the people desirous of moksa have a rock-like unwavering belief in it first and has then told showed them the solution of moksa.
This is true of material world too. When we know that there is gold, silver or diamond lying in a mine, we search for means to obtain them. We accept any risk and get involved in the activity of attaining them. Regardless of the fear of death, man attempts to obtain the wealth lying at the bottom of the sea. Why! You discovered petroleum! How? Were there rivers of petroleum flowing? No, it is found only after deep drilling. Once we know
