Why every Hindu wants to attain Moksha?

Every one is searching for Moksha, they travel far and wide for this and even go for pilgrimages. While doing all this, first requirement is to find God, and then ask him the way to get forgiveness from sin, and then receive Moksha [salvation]. Every religion speaks of the requirement of Moksha or salvation. An inner voice from within man warns him of the impending uncertainty of tomorrow. Man has come into the world, and his earthly body, or even this world is not his final destination. The spirit of man will come out from his body and move on to the next destination, that is the judgment seat of God. His body made of the elements of this earth, will return to the dust. Therefore salvation from Sin, Moksha and attaining a heavenly abode is the need of everyone. No one is looking forward to a destination of fiery hell, and torture in the darkness of eternity. Therefore being afraid of a tomorrow every human being is willing to pay a price to attain salvation or Moksha.

How is moksha attained?

Moksha is liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth. How does one attain Moksha? By being free from rebirth. How does one escape from rebirth? By being free from Karma. It is our Karma or past actions that makes the Mind and Ego, the ME, take a new body at the death of our present body. Only the body dies, the Mind and Ego, the ME, is reborn. We are reborn again and again as per our cumulative Karma. How does one make our Karma zero? By realizing that we are not the doer of Karma. When we realize the Karma doesn't belong to me, I am not the ME, the Mind and Ego, I am not the body that dies, I am the Divine Soul, then I don't have any Karma. The moment the Karma doesn't belong to me, there is freedom in action. All my actions are an offering to the Divine, and I become an instrument of the Divine. The moment this happens, there is no Karma, I am liberated - this is Moksha.

What do Hindus do to communicate with their God?

The Hindus call union with God Moksha. It starts with yoga or union, but that union is only as long as a human being is alive. The ultimate union with God happens when we attain a state of realization, the unification with the Divine at death, it is called Moksha. The Buddhists call Moksha, Nirvana. It is the same but with a few different perspectives. The western world calls it Salvation that comes from enlightenment. It hardly matters whether it is a Hindu belief, the Buddhist or Western belief, the truth is that we all come from God and we have to be liberated and reunited with the Divine. That is our ultimate goal.

When war comes who are more to be pitied the living or the dead?

This is an awesome question! And a balanced argument; If WW3 came and you lost your life to it, that would probably register with more impact upon society than if you were still alive. Yes, true, if you were still living you would have to live through the terror, but you're still ALIVE; not dead. people seem to think that being dead and at peace is worse than being alive and living thorugh it. as above, however, it is really anyone's argument against anyone else's.
