How You Can Attain Salvation?

As per Hinduism, attaining Salvation (MOKSHA) is the ultimate achievement for the human soul. Knowing this, so many people tried various ways to attain salvation. Era-after-era, period-after-period, there had been birth of so many saints who preached various ways to attain this ultimate achievement. But, a few people could able to achieve what is known as ultimate achievement of the human soul – MOKSHA. Why?

Because there are various ways to attain salvation, one might be confused which way to follow. And there have been debates on this issue. Debating on this issue about which way is the best to be followed to attain MOKSHA is a mere waste of time. If one goes through the preaching and teachings of all the knowledgeable saints and try to deduce the gist of what they taught us, one could easily see that all their teachings point to one simple path.

The simple path to attain MOKSHA is to control one's self. To control one's self, one has to attain GNANA. Apart from this GNANA, one needs to have BHAKTI toward the Supreme Lord (God). With the cutting-edge combination of GNANA and BHAKTI, there are chances that one can achieve MOKSHA, if one prays for the sake of God. If one prays Lord with ultimate BHAKTI to attain material prospects, then forget about MOKSHA.

One needs to attain GNANA to control all his/her six senses. It is not that much easy to control our six senses. Great sages like Vishwamitra, who is also known as Rajarshi, could not able to control his attraction toward Mohini even after thousands of years of rigorous TAPASYA. These six senses can be compared with a chariot drawn by six horses, all in different directions. And the chariot is the human soul here. If the chariot is drawn in six different directions, there are 100% chances that the chariot will go topsy-turvy, in this case human soul.

So, attain GNANA and pray the Lord with BHAKTI while not thinking about material pleasures to attain MOKSHA.
