Is Liberation a Gift from God for Those Who Follow Justice in Worldly Life?

[Shri Anil Antony asked: Swami, You mentioned that 'If one observe rules of Pravrutti related to Artha, Kama and Karma, the liberation is the outcome as a gift from God'. Kindly elaborate, is it sufficient only to get liberation and what is the need to serve God in such case? anil antony]

Swami replied: Liberation (Moksha) is different from achievement of love of God. Liberation is relieving yourself from the previous institution. This is different from giving a joining report to the new institution. If you are following the rules of Pravrutti, God gives you the heaven as the gift. Heaven means absence of sorrow and tension and presence of happiness. This is a temporary fruit because this fruit disappears as soon as you break the rules of Pravrutti. Heaven is given to you in this world itself and you may break the rule after some time losing the heaven. Even if you die, you may go to heaven for some time and should return to this world after some time (Kshenepunye… Gita) and you may break the rule here. But, the result of sacrificial service to God generated from knowledge and devotion is permanent since you will constantly enjoy the service in spite of the difficulties. The nearness and dearness to God gives you eternal happiness in which you neglect even the difficulties in the service. Liberation is the fruit of Pravrutti and has no connection with Nivrutti and its fruit.
