Liberation (Moksha ~ Swami Sivananda


Liberation (Moksha)

Disciple: What is the nature of Liberation (Moksha)?

Guru:  Removal of all kinds of pain (Sarvaduhkhanivritti) and
attainment of Supreme, imperishable, eternal Bliss of Brahman (Paramanandaprapti).

Disciple: What does the direct Knowledge of Brahman do (Brahmajnana)?

Guru: It destroys Avidya and its effects (Karya), viz., the bodies and the whole Samsara.
 It frees you from the miseries of birth and death.
It makes you absolutely fearless, free and independent.
 All your doubts like “whether I am body or Prana or Buddhi” will vanish in toto. Youw will become free from disease, old age and death. You will have no fear of death or enemies You will shine as the effulgent, resplendent Purusha Supreme.
