How The Soul Can Be Freed...

Shrimadji thought long and hard at a very young age about how the soul can be freed from the cycle of re-incarnation. 


In Vikram Samvat 1945 in Vavania, twenty-one year old Shrimadji met Shri Mansukhram Tripathi, a scholar well-versed in the vedanta philosophy. 


Shrimadji became familiar with his religious views, which were direct, moderate and without hypocrisy. 


Shrimadji said : "While I am not wealthy, and am young in age, I seek to attain maturity of insight from the company of one such as yourself. 


I wish to serve at the feet of a truly self-realised person." 


He wrote without prejudice : 


"If our goal is the well-being of the soul, why argue about the means or the systems ? 


That knowledge which leads to self-realisation is supreme knowledge. 


If the soul is detached, it is in a state of moksha." 


Shrimadji wrote many of His innermost thoughts to this scholar, seeking guidance, which would lead Him to enlightenment and Moksha. 


This is what Shrimadji thirsted for all His life.
