To understand this you should resort to Satsang and study of scriptures. An intellect that
is clouded by all sorts of desires and evil Samskaras will not be able to grasp even the need for
Moksha. Such an intellect is Asuric. Read the Gita. Attend Satsang. Listen to the discourses of
saints and Sannyasins. Then Viveka will arise in you. You will understand that this world is full
of pain and sorrow. The bungalow, the motor-car, the little position and the small salary that you
are having now will not then satisfy you. Your aspirations will grow. You will want to liberate
yourself.
What great labour goes into the preparation of the microscope lens? After a lot of
grinding only you are able to peep into the beyond. Similarly, after a lot of study and Satsang
only will your intellect even think of the Beyond.
