Liberation Can Be Attained Through Saiyam
Questioner (seeker who has not taken Gnan): Without observing saiyam, can liberation (moksha) be attained?
Dadashri: Without observing saiyam, no one has ever attained liberation. Why you did have to ask such a question?
Questioner: Sir, sometimes such a doubt arises; some people say that liberation can be attained without being in saiyam. So, I have asked this to receive an answer to this question.
Dadashri: No, but do you truly recognize saiyam? What do you refer to as saiyam?
Questioner: One who follows good conduct (charitra).
Dadashri: What do you refer to as charitra? If one wears clothes (like that of a renunciate), then is that referred to as charitra?
Questioner: Not because one wears the clothes, but if one remains on the path of saiyam and observes charitra, that is regarded as saiyam.
Dadashri: You do not understand, and without recognizing saiyam, you tell people, “How will you attain liberation without observing saiyam?” Hey, but how did you recognize saiyam? Does anybody recognize saiyam? A person cannot recognize saiyam.
