Liberation is Attained Through Total Surrender at the Feet of the Gnani Purush The Vitaraag Lords have said, “There is nothing at all that needs to be done for moksha. Just seek the One who has become free Himself; the One who has crossed the ocean of worldly life Himself, and He has the power to help countless others attain the same. Seek such a liberated Gnani Purush and follow his footsteps without any fear. If you want to attain moksha, then you will never be able to do so without the presence of a living Gnani, without having surrendered totally (samarpan) to Him, without following His Agnas.” The true meaning of samarpan is when you surrender all your wrong beliefs at the feet of the Gnani. If you surrender totally to the One you have attained patantar (the experience of the Self once the veils over the Self have broken) from, then your work will be done. When you know how to put the world aside, where no one can influence you; that is referred to as samarpan bhaav. In the current edition, Dadashri describes various ways to nurture the inner intent of total surrender and the hindrances that prevent you from surrendering totally, such as swachchhand (acting according to your own will). It is our heartfelt prayer that, after attaining the Knowledge of the Self, may mahatmas progress on the path of moksha, by completely developing samarpan bhaav towards the Gnani Purush after understanding it.
