Moksha means ultimate freedom, freedom from all limitations -- the limitations of the body and the limitations of the mind.

Your bad people have been so bad; your so-called good people have really proved more dangerous culprits. or course they talk about beautiful things, but you have to look behind the beautiful things. They talk about god, but then
