Organized religion is just an elaborate conspiracy to keep you away from Mukti. And you put it very nicely: nobody talks of Mukti when they are alive. Now, after they are gone, their kith and kin are supposed to be worried about their Mukti, which is all quite nonsensical. Once you are gone, the opportunity is gone. There is no liberation for the dead. No liberation at all for the dead. And that is why the opportunity called life is so precious.

Questioner: Sir, if I may add just two more thoughts — one came much before this session about the contradiction. I think Pitri Paksh were going on, and a lot of effort was being made by some family members about the liberation of the departed souls. At that time, I had written in one of my reflections that while people were alive, there was no talk of Mukti and not even a single discussion ever happened. The only Mukti that was ever imagined was death. But after the death has happened, some Mukti is being talked about, for which crows will come, and you know, pandits have to be fed and visits to Gaya are required. That was the first contradiction.
But the second one, on which I would definitely like your teachings, was or is the last sentence that you said: because it constantly feels that death came, death is a liberation to those who have died. It feels like that because my mother died at 55, 56, and struggled a lot with very deep mental health issues all her life. And my father was a very hard worker and everything and died at 64, right after retirement.
