But how much do they contribute in achieving the goal of life? Bhagawan clarifies this for us today. | | Audio Special: "Tryst with Divinity - Conversation with Mrs. Vidya Alekal from Los Angeles, USA" Listen Now | | H2H Special: "Experience Him in Everything and Everywhere - By Dr. Narendranath Reddy" Read Now | | | | | |
| The Kaivalya Upanishad declares: “Not by means of works, not by means of human power, not by means of wealth, but by renunciation alone can immortality be attained.” The ‘works’ referred to are rituals like sacrifices, vows, charities, donations, pilgrimages, etc. Through such activities, one cannot achieve liberation; that is to say, one cannot get rid of the veil of ignorance. ‘Human power’ means acquisition of positions of authority, of skill and intelligence which can manipulate people and things, of fame and supremacy, of personal charm, of health and happiness, or of a large family with many children - these cannot confer liberation. The works mentioned above and the acquisition referred to can succeed only when one has ‘wealth’. But the Upanishad announces that spiritual wisdom is not related to riches. So liberation cannot be earned by means of wealth. Renunciation alone can confer immortality. - Sutra Vahini, 'Stream of Aphorisms of Brahman'. | |
All work is God’s; He inspires, He helps, He executes, He enjoys, He is pleased. - Baba |
