In plain words
What Is Mokṣa?
All is Prema itself. The rivers are Prema itself. The rain is Prema itself. The earth is Prema itself. The plants are Prema itself. The fruits are Prema itself. All is full of Prema. Even after coming into such a human birth, full of Prema, why do people become empty of Prema? They are putting this Prema into what is worldly. When will it turn into true Prema? We must offer to God this carcass called the body. This itself is the true offering. Many people offer many things. But the true devotee offers his very own body. Bali Cakravarti offered his very body. Then God appeared before him there. From then on he had no birth at all. We must regard this body as a flower granted as a boon, come for the sake of being offered to God, and not regard it in any other way. As far as we can, we must let this life that has come to us be lived in good deeds, good practices and good conduct, and at the very last offer it to God. They have long spoken of piṇḍārpaṇa. Many brahmins think piṇḍārpaṇa means the pitṛ piṇḍa. That is not piṇḍārpaṇa. Piṇḍa means the body itself. To offer to God this body that is the piṇḍa: that itself is piṇḍārpaṇa. When it is offered to God, that itself is true Mokṣa; that itself is Mukti. What is Mokṣa? The moment you have offered this body, there is no moha at all. When moha is destroyed, then there is Mokṣa. Moha is no more. It has been destroyed. That itself is Mokṣa. Those who recognise this truth and live by it can experience Ānanda in full measure. But until we come to that sacred state, we must take care of the body. In this Prakṛti we have to do certain tasks. We must carry out our duties. We must practise Dharma. We must develop Satya. We must nurture sacrifice. This is the work our people of Bhārata did even in ancient times. From time without beginning, the heart of Bhārata has been full of compassion. I have told the students many times.
