efore they reached the goal. March boldly, O fair youth! andreach the goal.lt is not true that only one attained Moksha or liberation.History bears evidence of many a Sankara having come intothis world. tf the past could produce Sankaras, why not thefuture also? What one has achieved can be achieved by othersalso. This is the immutable law of nature. Whosoever wouldattain the knowledge of the Sell like Yajnavalkya of theBrihadaranyaka Upanishad, like Uddalaka of ChhandogyaUpanishad, will also attain Moksha or Immortality.The way to the enlightened sages is sinless. The way toliberation, freedom, perfect happiness and peace is throughperfect purity of mind and heart of every act, character andlife, through self-restraint, control of mind 4nd regularmeditation on the pure self-luminous, indivisible, allpervadingSelf or Atman.If you attain Self-realisation, all doubts will be rent asunder.Supreme contentment will ever dwell in your heart. You willbe purged of Rajas and Tamas. You will be ever peaceful andhappy. Therefore struggle hard to attain this rare state ofSupreme blessedness in this very birth.The flame of a lamp destroys immense darkness. Even so,knowledge of Self destroys ignorance or Avidya. The rootcause for human sufferings and tribulations. Therefore attainthe knowledge of the Self, get illumination and roam abouthappily.What is that by knowing which everything else will beknown, what is that by attaining which there will be nohankering for any other thing, what is that by realising whichone becomes immortal, fearless and desireless and rests ineverlasting peace and happiness? It is Brahman or Atman orthe Ultimate Truth which is the suntmum bonum of life. It isBhuma or the Highest or the Unconditioned. You can get realhappiness only by attaining this Bhuma or the Highest Self.MESSAGE OF AMRITA 253
