A Path to Religion & Path to Moksha (Spiritual Path) are two separate things. Those who want to move from bad to good, those who desire worldly happiness, they had been shown the Path to Religion that you do this and you do that.

Those, who want to go to moksha (ultimate liberation), do not need actions. Those who want to go to the abode of celestial beings (heaven), those who desire worldly happiness, they need actions. Those who want Moksha (Ultimate liberation), they need only Knowledge (Gnan) and the Gnani’s Agna (enlightened being’s directives), only these 2 things are required.

What is moksha (the ultimate liberation)? A change in vision should occur. The Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) can help you attain that change in vision.

You have brought with you (in this life) the ritual actions. The Knowledge (Gnan) part has to be done. Pure ritual is the result of the Knowledge (Gnan) part.

What is a ritual? When an enlightened person (Gnani Purush) is not around, when a leader of the path of Moksha (ultimate liberation) is not around, rituals will prevent one from slipping. It is good action. Ritual is not a wrong thing. But in this time era, the root has not been present. All wrong beliefs have set in.

How long do rituals last? As long as there is a tendency of unity of mind-speech-body. When that unity is broken, rituals will not be useful.

What is the nature of merit karma (punya)? It will be spent. There may be a thousand ton of ice, but what is its nature? It is to melt away.

The infection of kusang (the company of bad people) is worse than tuberculosis. TB will kill a person for just one life whereas this infection will ruin endless lives.

Sang (company of people) is not a problem but it should not have a bad effect on you. It is infectious.
