Role Attachment Bondage or Moha plays in gaining
Enlightenment

Attachment... bondage... Moha... state as we may but
the meaning of all three words remains the same.
Christians call it water, Hindus Jala and the followers of
Islamic dharma as Paani... the intent and meaning of all
the three is the same.

Now let me explain this concept from the beginning...

If there was no attachment... bondage or Moha... the
need for any soul to traverse a long journey of 8.4
million lives (a total earthly journey of 96.4 million
years) would never have arisen for the soul within...
rather would not have been required at all. If the God
Almighty desired the chain of all manifestations right
from the very first manifestation to the last manifestation
(the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in the series of
evolution)... there must have been a most plausible
cause for it. And what was that?

At the time of the Big Bang when the Evolution was just
taking place at the time of start of the creation... all souls
got scattered all over the Cosmos. These souls on their
cosmic journey gathered impurities on the way. Now, to
come back to their pristine purity these souls required to
remove the dross within. Let me take an example...

Let us assume a lump of gold ore weighing one
hundred KG. And if we presume that this lump of gold
ore contains one KG of pure gold then in spiritual
terms... this one KG of pure gold is a single soul (atman
as we call it in Hinduism) on its cosmic journey and it
does not have within it powers any means to remove
these impurities. These 99 KG of impurities to be
separated from one KG of pure gold require the
requisite mining process.

And this process of purification of one KG of pure gold
from a lump of hundred KG of gold ore is what we are
interested in. This journey for a human being as we can
understand shall get completed in a total of 8.4 million
Manifestations (on the earthly plane it shall mean a
journey of 96.4 million years... a long journey indeed!).

As we can see above... we need the right machinery to
separate the pure gold from the dross within the ore...
every soul (atman) on its cosmic journey requires a
body to work out its Karma and remove the dross within.
Now what is it that keeps the total entity bound for such
a long period of time... is it not Moha... bondage...
attachment which keeps every body attached to the
other and also to materialistic riches of life?

This was necessitated as God the Almighty did not
desire the journey to be completed in a short time. Now,
unless and until we cut through every attachment...
Moha... or bondage... can we expect to get out of the
clutches of karma. No, it is just not possible! To be able
to gain Enlightenment within this life we have to take
absolute control over our five senses and finally the
mind. And this is possible only after we have gained
absolute control over any feeling of attachment... Moha
or bondage!

In other words we have to cut across the shackles of
attachment for overcoming the senses and the mind.
Simply stated it is easy to discuss on the topic of
attachment but it is the most difficult part which one has
to take control of in this life. To detach self completely
from the bondage of your parents, teachers, friends,
relatives and well-wishers is the most difficult part of life
in the life of a true seeker of Enlightenment within this
life. Why?

A moment before whom you called your dearest son or
a daughter... the moment you have crossed over the
boundaries of attachment... you shall not be able to call
your son a son... you shall also be not able to call your
lovely daughter a daughter. For all the children in the
world would have now become like sons and daughters
to you. You shall not be able to distinguish between
your own and the others. The simple divide which
maintained the boundary between your children and the
rest has now collapsed... something really difficult to
bear with!

Easily said than done... the path of Enlightenment is the
ultimate goal of every human being... come whatever
may! None can deviate from this absolute and the only
truth of life. And the absolute truth is that the body of a
human being is merely a garment for the soul within
and whence comes the time it shall be cast away
mercilessly in the hope of getting a new garment... a
new body... a new manifestation! On the earthly plane
someone dies but on the spiritual level... nothing is
lost... all is the result of the process of evolution taking
place every moment of life.

And the final truth that emerges out is, the soul proceeds
on its cosmic journey truthfully and mercilessly and in
the terms of human beings... we have life and death but
in the dictionary of soul (atman as we call it in
Hinduism)... life is a continuous process... nothing is lost
for everything belongs to God the Almighty. It is but for
the soul to shed its dross from one manifestation to
another in order to gain more and more purity and
finally the pristine purity it ever longed for. Having come
full circle... this purified soul becomes enlightened!


And now the question arises... how-to come out of the
feeling of attachment... bondage or Moha (as we call it
in Hinduism). We have to break free from the clutches of
attachment... bondage... or Moha for ever! And it is the
process of Yoga and Meditation which shall help us in
coming free of the shackles of attachment... bondage or
Moha forever. Vijay Kumar... The Man who Realized God in 1993 explains the vital Role Attachment Bondage or Moha plays in gaining Enlightenment. Subscribe free Newsletter "Spiritual Secrets Unveiled" - Explore hidden cosmic truths- at http://www.godrealized.com
