My Version of ‘Moksha’

I don’t know if there is something as life after death or reincarnation (However, it also contradicts my thought process of ‘Energy exists and regenerates or converts into new form’…..maybe for another blog)
As per Geeta Sar “Aaatma na paaida hoti hai naa marti hai”…then all we are left with is the present (Current life)
At times I have lengthy discussion/arguments with friends…on topics like people who will go into deep salvation/meditation to achieve the path to Moksha. Yes it is good to devote some time of your life on self evaluation… I think it is a must do exercise …however is taking saanyaas the right way to go about it?

Probably the below thoughts are the cause of origin of this blog :

--I think life has a lot to offer and much for us to explore…how can we turn a blind eye to such beauty/teachings of nature?
--Is it right to detach yourself from your duties and take a path of salvation?
--If we were to achieve Moksha as human beings then why were we born with relations attached to people? Why did creator give us emotions?
No emotions…No greed…No responsibility…Direct Moksha….. Cool right..huh ??
--People say one was born as human being …to go through hardship …to compensate for your bad karmas in your previous life….Tell me how many have seen or experienced their past life???
If almighty could re-create us …why not does he settle all the accounts in the previous life itself?? Why carry the guilt/burden into future??
(Some say maybe because the past was so bad that one life was not enough to compensate for the mistakes…)…But again who has seen the past…..

Probably to console all the brainstorming questions above …I feel the urge to redefine my version of ‘Moksha’
--Know yourself
--Know your duties your responsibilities
--Contribute/Share the knowledge you have learnt
--You have no control of my past or future …all you have is the present (synonym : Gift)
--You can control your positive thoughts….your positive role in society
--Whatever you cannot have control on or have no explanation leave it to time….
--You cannot control or change other people …but you can control your own outlook towards things

Sure enough this blog was not created to explain ‘Bhagvat Gita’…which I know I cannot….
But yes probably I am just trying to put is as At the end of the journey of life all that matters is to analyze yourself and be happy about your good deeds…
Maybe that is ‘Moksha’…the ultimate satisfaction of living life to fullest in a positive way…
