Description
Moha means total lack of awareness. It means not to know who one is. Absolutely revered Dadashri simply explains that, ‘That which steals away the entire chit is called moha.’ Where is the major place that the chit gets trapped? The answer is vishaya (sexuality). Where is the other place? In unnecessary things. If you want to go to moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death), then you ought to make a list of essential and nonessential things. And then you should reduce your value for the nonessential things. One even has moha for respect (maan) on the inside, and he even has moha for fame (kirti). But after the fame comes defame (upkirti). Therefore, we need to rise above fame and defame. When what is sweet indeed tastes sweet, when what is bitter indeed tastes bitter, that is referred to as moha; and when both begin to taste insipid, it means that the illusory effects (mohaniya parinam) have become weak. When all the moha melts away, then Your work is done!
