ticket to moksha

The word 'moksha' means deliverance from cycle of death and re-birth if one holds such belief. "Ticket to moksha" is a ticket, when purchased, assures one riddance from death and birth cycle. The word 'purchase' brings into picture flow of money; in India folks are selling and purchasing "ticket to moksha"!

A friend of my uncle gladly revealed that he had purchased ticket to moksha by paying some lakh of money. What more,he had got rid of deadly disease of cancer by paying 30 lakhs; all payments made self-proclaimed godman (babaji) who cures only the wealthy vide "pranic healing".

Hearing such magic tales, he confided to top members of the priory of sion and immediate sanction was accorded to Mission "Job"; one of my distant relative in land of pink slips was out of job for nearly for the past 7 months and finding job was proving to be a hell of a task. Job was important since job gives the passport to marry.

The pranic healer was apprised and he diagnosed the problem to be "short size of kundalini". He promised that once kundalini resumes its normal lenght, my distant relative would regain all his confidence and job too. About 20 K was given and the mission commenced. However, the priory, being impatient as ever, started ringing the pranic healer about the results. The pranic healer added a caveat, "results would show only after 48 days after commencement of process".

Bang on the 48th day, the distant relative of mine secured "the job". The priory members were all happy. The pranic healer informed my uncle that, "you have 4 blocks in your heart".

Heroes have gone out; quacks have come in; the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp; the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other. - Thomas Carlyle
