| CONCLUSION - THE FULFILLMENT OF FRUIT - THE GRACE OF THE LORD |
| 21.
The bhakta, however, keeps saying to the Lord, "It is
enough for me to love you. I do not want the final fruit of moksha."
After all, moksha too is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of
fruit. And to this fruit again we should apply the scissors of
renunciation of fruit; but this does not mean that we shall miss moksha.
The scissors will break and the fruit grow stronger.
Even as we give up the desire for moksha, we shall be moving towards it, without being aware of it. We should be so absorbed in sadhana that we forget all about moksha, and then moksha will come seeking us and stand in front of us. Let the sadhaka be steeped in his sadhana. "maa te
sangaastuakarmani."
In the very beginning the Lord has said, "Do not be attached to the state of actionlessness, to moksha." Now, in the end, He says again. "aham tvaa sarvapaapebhyo mokshayishyaami maa suchah.""I shall deliver you from all sins, do not grieve." He says, "I am the master, the giver of moksha. Do not worry about moksha. It is enough if you attend to your effort." By forgetting all about moksha; one's efforts become more noble. Then moksha will be enamored to you and come to you. Round the neck of the seeker who, without desire for moksha, is absorbed in sadhana, in effort, Moksha - Lakshmi, the Goddess of Freedom, will throw the garland of victory. |
