What is Mukti?

Mukti means the experience of being free from all types of karma and bondage. People describe mukti as retiring from work early and enjoying the pension. But this is not real mukti, after retiring people still worry don’t they. They worry about things like “will my daughter marry if she does will she marry a decent man.”  This cannot be real mukti. Real mukti can only be achieved after a Self Realized Person has separated the self and the non-self.

Can the Mukti (freedom) of Akram Vignan be experienced while one is living or does the Mukti (freedom, Liberation) come after death?

What is the point of having freedom after you are dead? This is how people become conned into promises of Mukti after death and become trapped. What is the use of the promise for Mukti in this life? You need to be able to experience or get a taste of Mukti right here and right now. Otherwise how can one be sure whether there is such a thing as mukti? Mukti after death is like borrowed Mukti. One cannot depend upon things that are borrowed. You need to have the experience of mukti in your hands, like ready cash. You should be able to experience this Mukti while you are alive.

All the mukti you want is yours. This is a shortcut path to Self realization (Atma Gnan). It does not require any effort on your part. Dadashri will give you your Atma (soul) in your hands; so all that remains is for you to enjoy the bliss of the experience. This is the elevator path. Stay in the elevator, and you will not bind any new karma. The only karma you bind will be through following my Agnas (instructions), and they will result in one more lifetime. Dadashri gives you these Agnas to protect you from any deviations or obstacles on this path.

On the special day of the Gnan Vidhi, (Scientific experiment to grace you with enlightenment) Dadashri severs the ropes of ignorance that have kept you bound for infinite lives. You will then immediately experience mukti. You should experience the awareness that you have been freed.
The experience of the Self is the experience that is felt when one is relieved from one’s work and worldly duties and when one sits in a meditative state. It will continue to grow because one will perceive what the non self is now, as opposed to what non self was before. What makes this difference? It is the experience of the Atma. Before, one believed that he was the physical body whereas now, one is established as the Soul.

How can we experience mukti from the relations we have bound from previous lives? If you are forced to live with someone you do not like, then on the outside you should continue your worldly relationship with that person and from within you must do pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) in his name. What are the causes behind your suffering today? In your previous life you must have committed mistakes against that person and as a result in this life you have to suffer the consequences. If you do pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) now, in the presence of whichever God you worship, you will erase all your mistakes.  With repeated pratikramans (asking for forgiveness) you will experience mukti from all the errors that have been caused in these sticky relationships.

We all tend to be afraid of those or that which we dislike intensely. All this is the result of abhorrence. To become mukt (free) from this feeling of contempt, one has to keep asking for forgiveness. If you do not get along at all with a person, and you do pratikraman for him all day long, you will be able to get along with him and he will seek your company. Even though the other person may not be aware of it, you have to continue asking for forgiveness from within. 

The world will not allow anyone to be liberated. The bondage of this life is such that only pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) can release you. There is no way out. When is one able to do pratikraman correctly?  It is when he attains the knowledge of the Real Self from a living enlightened Avatar.  With this knowledge you become aware of the Self, and this awareness will allow you to do pratikraman and be released from the burden of any liability. Only then can you experience mukti from all of your worldly relations.
