Two Types of Goals: Worldly <strong>and</strong> Final<br />
Two types of goals need to be decided. The first is that<br />
you have to live your life in such a way that no living being is<br />
hurt by you. You have to spend your time in the company of<br />
those who promote the attainment of the <strong>Self</strong> (satsang) <strong>and</strong><br />
vicinity of good human beings, <strong>and</strong> avoid bad company<br />
(kusang) as much as possible. This should be the aim. And in<br />
the second goal, if you happen to meet a living (pratyaksh)<br />
Gnani Purush (One who has fully realized the <strong>Self</strong> <strong>and</strong> is able<br />
to impart the Knowledge of the <strong>Self</strong> to others; attain <strong>Self</strong><strong>realization</strong><br />
from Him), then remain in His satsang. With Him, all<br />
your goals will be accomplished <strong>and</strong> all your puzzles will be<br />
solved (<strong>and</strong> one will attain liberation).<br />
So what then is the final goal of a human being?<br />
Liberation (moksha) should be the only goal. You do want<br />
liberation, don’t you? For how much longer do you want to<br />
keep on w<strong>and</strong>ering aimlessly? You have done only this <strong>for</strong><br />
infinite lives. You have not left any place to w<strong>and</strong>er. Why did<br />
you have to suffer such endless w<strong>and</strong>erings? This is because<br />
you have not known your true identity; you have not known the<br />
answer to “Who Am I?” Should you not know your real <strong>Self</strong>?<br />
Despite the extensive w<strong>and</strong>erings of countless lives, you do not<br />
even know who you really are. Is making money your only goal<br />
in life? Should you not be making some ef<strong>for</strong>t towards your<br />
liberation (moksha)? A human being can indeed become a<br />
God, the absolute <strong>Self</strong> (Parmatma). To attain one’s own<br />
“absolute <strong>Self</strong>” is the final goal of a human being.<br />
Two Stages of Liberation<br />
Questioner: Ordinarily, by liberation (moksha) we<br />
mean release or freedom from the cycles of birth <strong>and</strong> death.<br />
