Pages in category "Moksa"
The following 105 pages are in this category, out of 105 total.
A
- A devotee is not interested in any of these (dharma, artha, kama and moksa). In the Christian religion, people pray, "Give us this day our daily bread," but a pure bhakta does not even ask for his daily bread
- A devotee should not desire even for moksa. What is moksa? Moksa is very insignificant thing for a devotee
- A devotee simply offers everything to the Supreme Personality of Godhead to receive the best results of charity, religious performances, sense gratification and even liberation (dharma, artha, kama, moksa) - SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90
- According to Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti, dharma, artha, kama and moksa principles are accepted by persons who are not free from the results of impious action
- According to Sridhara Svami, the material conception of success (moksa, or liberation) is desired by those in material existence. Devotees, however, not being situated in material existence, have no desire for liberation
- According to Svami Sridhara, dharma, artha, kama and moksa, or fruitive activities, philosophical speculations and salvation, as conceived by several persons, are not the ultimate goal of life
- According to Vyasadeva, dharma artha kama moksa, that is not very essential thing. Real thing is how to advance in the science of loving God, Krsna
- All these (subtle desires for impersonalism, monism, success and the four principles of religious activity; dharma, artha, kama and moksa) are like spots on clean cloth. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also wanted to cleanse all these away
- Anyone who is freed from all these allurement (dharma artha kama moksa), he is paramahamsa. And this paramahamsa-samhita, it is called, Bhagavata . . . Paramahamsa-samhita
- Anything, it requires four pillars. So to remain steadily on the platform of dharma, these four legs required: dharma, artha, kama, moksa
- As soon as there is some motive, that is cheating religion. But bhakti, there is no such thing, dharma, artha, kama, moksa. It is above, transcendental
- At the present moment modern educated persons, they do not know that there is something like moksa and it can be achieved, and there is process, and the whole Vedic sastra is trying to educate us for getting moksa
B
- Because people are becoming religious for moksa, liberation. So Sridhara Svami says that up to the end of moksa-vancha, desire for liberation, that is also rejected. Because moksa is also not our ultimate goal of life
- Bhagavan said, daivi sampad vimoksaya. If you develop daivi sampat, these qualities, as described - ahimsa, sattva-samsuddhih, ahimsa, so many things - then you'll get out, vimoksaya
- Bhakti is so powerful that it is also said to be moksa-laghutakrt; in other words, it minimizes the importance of liberation
- Bhakti means the activities of the liberated stage. That is not material things. So this Krsna consciousness movement is little difficult to understand because these activities are for the persons who have already attained moksa
- Bhakti, devotional service, is transcendental even to mukti, liberation. Generally people are concerned with dharma, artha, kama and moksa
D
- Devotional service to Krsna is but another means for attaining dharma, artha, kama and moksa. Therefore they (Impersonalist Mayavadis) criticize the devotees for engaging in material activities
- Dharma (religiosity), artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification) and moksa (liberation) are the four principles of religion that pertain to the material world
- Dharma artha kama moksa (SB 4.8.41, CC Adi 1.90). And at last, to become liberated, moksa. Moksa means to get out of the entanglement of material miserable condition of life
- Dharma, artha, kama and moksa are called catur-varga. They are all within the system of inferior, material knowledge
- Dhruva Mahārāja is advised that if he has no desire for sense gratification, then he should directly engage himself in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. The path of apavarga, or liberation, begins from the stage called moksa
E
- Everyone depends upon dharma (religiosity), artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification) and ultimately moksa (salvation), but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, due to His magnanimous character, can give more than salvation
- Everyone, whether an akama or sakama or moksa-kama, should worship the Lord with great expedience. This implies that bhakti-yoga may be perfectly administered without any mixture of karma and jnana
- Everything should be adjusted in such a way that we attain liberation. Therefore in this verse (SB 4.22.35), liberation, moksa, is stressed. The other three items are material and therefore subject to destruction
G
- Generally people are aware of four principal goals of life - religiosity (dharma), economic development (artha), sense gratification (kama) and ultimately liberation (moksa) - but devotional service is situated on the platform above liberation
- Generally, people want dharma, artha, kama and moksa, in that order. First of all, people want to become religious (dharma) in order to attain material opulence - artha
I
- If one gets the opportunity to possess a human form of body, in this body he can fulfill the four principles of dharma, artha, kama and moksa
- If one wants to be happy within this material world, he may aspire to go to the different material planetary systems where there is a higher standard of sense gratification, but real moksa, or liberation, is performed without any such desire
- If you develop love for Krsna, prema, prema pum-artho mahan, that is the recommendation by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that dharma, artha, kama, moksa (CC Adi 1.90) is not the aim of life. Prema pum-artho mahan
- If you have got perfect knowledge, then the result will be yaj jnatva. If you possess that perfect knowledge, then moksyase asubhat
- In human life there are four principles to be fulfilled - dharma, artha, kama and moksa - religion, economic development, sense gratification, and liberation
- In Srimad-Bhagavatam in the beginning of the transcendental literature, it is said, dharmah projjhita-kaitavo 'tra (SB 1.1.2). Dharma, artha, kama and moksa are kaitava - false and unnecessary
- In the beginning, there is dharma (religion), then artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification), then moksa (merging into the Supreme One). However, bhakti is above all these. Mukti is not very important for a bhakta
- In the Moksa-dharma Krsna says, The patriarchs, Siva and others are created by Me, though they do not know that they are created by Me because they are deluded by My illusory energy. BG 1972 purports
- In the Moksa-dharma section of the Mahabharata it is stated that trees have developed sense perception; they can see and smell. We know by experience that trees can see
- In this verse (of SB 8.4.13) the word vimoksya is significant. For a devotee, moksa or mukti - salvation - means getting the position of the Lord's associate
K
- Krsna consciousness movement is not one-sided. It is not that people may think that they are sentimentalist and simply chanting and dancing. No. There is volumes of philosophy of life, from all angles of vision. Dharma, artha, kama, moksa
- Krsna Himself states in the Moksa-dharma, "I created the Prajapatis and the Rudras. They do not have complete knowledge of Me because they are covered by My illusory energy"
M
- Moksa is also not our ultimate goal of life. Moksa means to get relief from the material bondage. But if you do not get engagement of spiritual life, then moksa is also cheating because you'll fall down again
- Moksa means liberation, and the promise is that by dint of understanding this knowledge (jnana and vijnana, theoretical wisdom and scientific knowledge) one will attain liberation from all miseries
- Moksa means to become one with the Lord. So these things are going on. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to save all these fallen souls
- Moksa, or liberation, has to be taken very seriously, even at the sacrifice of the other three items. As advised by Suta Gosvami in the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam, religious principles are not based on success in economic development
N
- No one is interested in inquiring about this matter (Why one is forced to suffer the threefold miseries of material life). Moksa, liberation, means getting free from the threefold miseries of life as well as birth, old age, disease and death
- Not only now but since time immemorial, no one is interested in moksa, liberation. There are four principles - dharma (religion), artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification) and moksa - liberation
P
- People are after dharma, artha, kama and moksa. Generally they perform religious activities to achieve some material gain, and they engage in material activity for sense gratification
- People become religious not for attaining the transcendental stage, but for material benefit, dharma, the artha. Artha means material opulence. These four things: dharma artha kama moksa
- People do not understand what is moksa, what is economic development, what is religious principle. There is no education
- People want material opulence in order to gratify their senses (kama), and when they are frustrated in their attempt to gratify their senses, they want liberation (moksa). In this way, dharma, artha, kama and moksa are going on
- Persons affected with the contaminations of the above four principles (dharma, artha, kama and moksa) cannot at once accept the lotus feet of the Lord in the spiritual sky. The Vaikuntha world is situated far beyond the material sky
- Pious activities (dharma), economic development (artha), satisfaction of the senses (kama), and finally liberation from material bondage (moksa) are all external factors. And the real dharma or religious principle is devotional service to the Lord
- Prahlada Maharaja said, agunena ca kanksitena: if one is engaged in the transcendental loving service of the lotus feet of the Lord, he does not need anything in terms of dharma, artha, kama or moksa
- Prahlada replied, "this (death) is not the object of human life. Human life is meant for moksa, liberation." Unfortunately, foolish people do not understand this
R
- Real purpose of life is not dharma, artha, kama, moksa. And that will be explained here, jivasya tattva-jijnasa: What is the Absolute Truth, what is the aim of life. Then this is the process. Adau sraddha tatah sadhu-sango 'tha bhajana-kriya
- Regulated human civilization promotes dharma, artha, kama and moksa. In human society there must be religion
S
- Such people (who aspire after liberation attempt to merge into the impersonal Brahman) can never dream of returning home, back to Godhead. There is a gulf of difference between the goal of dharma, artha, kama and moksa and the goal of devotional service
- Sukadeva Gosvami continued: O King, I have described to you the pastime of Gajendra-moksana, which is most pious to hear. By hearing of such activities of the Lord, one can be freed from all sinful reactions. Now please listen as I describe Raivata Manu
T
- The four principles of advancement in spiritual life-dharma, artha, kama and moksa - all depend on the disposition of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, my dear friends, follow in the footsteps of devotees
- The Gajendra-moksana temple is sometimes mistaken for a temple of Lord Siva. It is about two miles south of the city of Kaivera (Nagercoil). Actually the Deity is not of Lord Siva but of Visnu
- The highest achievement attained by the jnanis, or impersonalists, is becoming one with the Supreme, generally known as moksa, liberation
- The idea of moksa, or liberation, held by the monist in the matter of oneness of the living entity and the Lord by ultimate merging in one, is also the last stage of materialism or forgetfulness
- The material position is one wants to become religious, dharma. Why? Now, he can get material opulence. Oh, why material opulences? Now, because he can gratify his senses, kama. And when he is frustrated, then he wants moksa
- The Moksa-dharma Vedic scripture indicates that Pradyumna is the Deity of the total mind, whereas Aniruddha is the Deity of the total ego
- The only concern of such (saintly) devotees is moksa, liberation. This moksa does not refer to becoming one with the Supreme like the Mayavadi philosophers
- The twenty-four ghats (bathing places) along the Yamuna are (1) Avimukta, (2) Adhirudha, (3) Guhya-tirtha, (4) Prayaga-tirtha, (5) Kanakhala-tirtha, (6) Tinduka, (7) Surya-tirtha, (8) Vata-svami, (9) Dhruva-ghata, (10) Rsi-tirtha, (11) Moksa-tirtha
- The Vedic process is so comprehensive that even in householder life one can adjust his activities according to the regulative principles of dharma, artha, kama and moksa
- The word akama refers to one who does not have any material desires. Moksa-kama refers to one who seeks liberation from material miseries, and sarva-kama refers to one who has the material desire to enjoy
- There are different stages of avidya, and they are called dharma, artha and moksa
- There are four objectives in human life - namely, religiosity (dharma), economic development (artha), sense gratification (kama), and liberation (moksa) from the bondage of material existence
- There are four principles in the human society, namely dharma, artha, kama and moksa. Means first of all become religious, and then you solve your economic problem, and then satisfy your senses, and then become one with God

- There are four principles of elevation from conditioned life to the life of liberation, which are technically known as dharma, artha, kama and moksa (religion, economic development, sense gratification and liberation)
- There are four processes for human society - dharma, artha, kama and moksa - and they culminate in liberation
- There are three kinds of men, who are called akama, moksa-kama and sarva-kama. One who tries to get liberation from this material world is called moksa-kama
- There is a gulf of difference between the goal of dharma, artha, kama and moksa and the goal of devotional service
- There is no need for a devotee of Krsna to endeavor for material opulence or liberation. By being situated in the transcendental position of devotional service, he receives all the benefits of dharma, artha, kama and moksa
- These four principles (dharma, artha, kama, moksa) form the transcendental path for the less intelligent. Those who are actually intelligent engage in Krsna consciousness, not caring for these four principles of the transcendental method
- This (dharma, artha, kama, moksa) is material principles. We have to surpass this material principle, then come to the spiritual platform. That is sarva-dharman parityajya
- This is also necessary; the Vedic civilization considers all aspects of human life, including dharma (religion), artha (economic development), kama (sense gratification) and moksa (liberation). But humanity's first concern should be religion
- This is four principle: dharma, artha, kama, moksa. And moksa, by the impersonalist, their moksa and real moksa . . . real moksa means liberation
- This is the only central point - how to love Krsna (prema pum-artho mahan). People are generally pursuing dharma, artha, kama, moksa - religiosity, economic development, sense gratification, & liberation. But Lord Caitanya disregarded these four things
- This verse (SB 1.1.2) of Srimad-Bhagavatam rejects as cheating processes all religious activities that aim at achieving materialistic goals, including dharma, artha, kama and even moksa, or liberation
- Those interested in the four principles of dharma, artha, kama and moksa cannot be compared to those interested in the unalloyed devotional service of the Lord
- Those who aspire for liberation (mukti or moksa) and introduce themselves as vaidantika are also equal to those groups aspiring to improve religion (dharma), economic development (artha) and sense gratification - kama
- To the impersonalists liberation means merging into the existence of impersonal Brahman. But factually this is not moksa because one has to again fall down into this material world from that impersonal position
U
- Unfortunately, the modern civilization, they do not know what is vimoksaya. They're so blind. They do not know that there is some position which is called vimoksaya. They do not know. They do not know what is next life
- Unless there is sufficient education on these principles - dharma, artha, kama, moksa - you cannot have peaceful life in human society. That is not... That is animal society
W
- We are actually busy with dharma, artha, kama and moksa, but when we transcend these, bhakti begins
- When one comes to the stage of moksa, the impersonalist liberation, the practitioner wants to merge into the existence of the Supreme. But that is also sense gratification
