Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 4, Class 163

In this profoundly compassionate class, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s revolutionary philosophy of spiritual freedom (mokṣa) as the ultimate goal of life—the complete liberation from the cycle of birth and death—while emphasizing that the Vedic tradition uniquely offers total freedom of choice: 

Krishna presents mokṣa as a powerful suggestion, never as a commandment, fully respecting individual agency and supporting every sincere seeker on whatever path they choose, material or spiritual, as long as the means are dharmic and the intention is honest. 

Acharya Tadany explained that the universal human desire for independence—from external dependencies, people, or circumstances—is an unconscious expression of the soul’s innate pull toward mokṣa, and even those pursuing wealth, success, or pleasure are on a legitimate detour, provided they avoid addiction and attachment that turns enjoyment into bondage. 

The śāstra endorses material life without condemnation, recognising diverse human needs, but warns against becoming enslaved to sensual pleasures, teaching that true freedom is internal, not external, and that divine assistance (anugraha) flows inclusively to all who approach with sincerity, making the Vedic path a balanced, guilt-free framework that harmonizes worldly engagement with spiritual aspiration. 

The class concluded with the liberating insight that mokṣa is not a distant mandate but a natural culmination for anyone willing to live mindfully, offering a realistic and inclusive vision where every legitimate pursuit can become a stepping stone to the highest independence.
