Who Wants Moksha?


Once there was a discussion and Baba asked, "Who wants liberation?  Who wants moksha?"

I replied, "I do not want liberation."  

He said, "Why?"  

I said: "Why should I want that which I do not know, I do not know whether sweet or not, whether it is fair or dark, tall or short.   I don't know whether I will be there alone or not.  I do not know whether I will get food there or starve.  Nobody ever returned from moksha and told me how it looks.  So I have no idea and nobody gave me any idea.  Why should I want that of which nobody knows?  But this I know, when I talk about you, people are happy and I am also happy.  When I hear your message it is sweet, when I communicate it, it is sweeter and when they listen, it is the sweetest.   Then why should I have moksha?  If I am to be born again, Swami, please see that I am to share your message in my next birth also.  I wish to continue speaking only of You, Baba."
