The two primary forces of Human beings:

To know what Moksha is, we must know that we have,

1. A mighty, inexhaustible and uncontrollable Involuntary force

2. A small, transient and easily controllable Voluntary force.

Brahman is Involuntary force in the purest form. All other Hindu gods are a blend of Involuntary and Voluntary forces. Thus, we can attain Moksha easily through a Hindu god by getting rid of the voluntary component of that god. Shiva and Krishna are best suited for this purpose.

Voluntary/ Manual force - the double edged sword:

The Voluntary force is the shockabsorber of our life, as it enables us to change with great ease. However, its over use makes our life unstable, chaotic and also abolishes thinking. It is at this stage that we must attain Moksha.

This involves getting rid of,

1. Differences among the various activities of our life

2. Our ability to change.

Advantages of Involuntary/ Automatic force:

Leading a life with pure involuntary force would,

1. Make our life effortless and stress free

2. Get rid of our acquired knowledge and enable us to use pure Inborn knowledge called Brahma Jnana.

The Hindu paths to Moksha:

The transient, manual force is necessary to deal with a change and thus whenever we become helpless we have a tendency to use it and thus make our life stressful and tiring.

There are four ways of avoiding use of voluntary force and getting rid of it from our life.

1. Bhakti Marga:

In this we develop faith in the involuntary force and keep using it even if it leads to repeated disasters, until the involuntary force, 1. Finds similarities among all the activities of our life 2. Gets rid of activities that are grossly dissimilar

2. Karma Marga:

The Karma acts as a band filter, filtering off activities producing both positive and negative emotions and allowing just unemotional activites. Cycles of rebirth doesn't mean that we are born again and again. It is just symbolic of repeated starting of a new ways of life whenever our life is ruined.

3. Jnana Marga:

In this we try to find out similarities among all activities of our life and ways to discard or ignore differences among them.

4. Raja Marga: Since the Involuntary force is mightier, in this approach we use it with Kingly authority, with the hope that voluntary activities surrender, thus enabling us to execute all the activities with the Involuntary force only.

Original Meditation - the easiest and the most reliable way to attain Moksha:

In this, we sit motionless and keep generating involuntary force, by Isometrically contracting (hardening) the lower end of the band like Hyoglossus muscles, that extend from the sides of our tongue downwards to the U-shaped hyoid bone above our Adam's apple. This would filter off all Voluntary activities and thus enable us to attain Moksha.

This is the final common pathway to Moksha even when we use any one of the Margas to attain Moksha.

Original Meditation was the first choice of all sages, who attained Moksha.

To get moksha, one should be sincere in his works and then he attains moksha.

Moksha does not mean the salvation of the body but the salvation of the mind.
