Moksha

Moksha is not an event.

Moksha is to know that what exists is Brahman only.

To know that, that Brahman is me is knowledge.

Me is not the transactor that I am.

Here 'me' is the basis of all transactions.

It is the ever present I which cannot be sublated.

That Brahman is I . This is knowledge.

That I am Brahman , that I am everything, that nothing is apart from me is Moksha.

The Goal of Life!

The goal of life is discover oneself. That which we call as our self is a confused self. "I am That I am " is the goal of life.
When some one asks you who you are, your answer is your name, your parentage, tradition, religion, education, marital status, position which are all roles you have assumed.
The real "I" is other than all these. These gain validity because of your association with the body, senses, mind, memory etc.
The "I" that I am or the I that you are is undefinable for it is not an object of your thought. It is the "I" on which the fabric of thought is oven. Think, ponder on this.

A Vedic prayer to Lord Ganapathi

A Soulful Prayer:
Gananam tva ganapatigm havamahe
Kavim kavinam upamasravastamam
jyestarajam brahmanam brahmanaspata
Anassrinvanutibhissida sadanam.

We adore and worship you. May you the Lord of the vedas deign to take a seat in our hearts with all your powers of protection. Are'nt you the leader of leaders of assemblies of deities. You are the seer of all seers. You have been eulogised in all similies and classic metaphors as the most famous and unparallelled knower of Brahman.
You ever shine in the hearts of your devotees. May you listen to our prayers and grace us with felicity.

Ganapati is a kavi, a seer who is far-sighted having the knowledge of the past present and future.All kavis (poets)look up to you for guidance and understanding. You are the uncaused cause the brought into being all the kavis ( Seers or poets ).
None can ever approximate you.

Devotees divinise their hearts as altars of fire ritual and offer oblations to Ganapati seated in their hearts as the Lord of the ritual.
