There
are two paths of liberation: One is
the common and the main path, called the Kramik path, which is a step-by-step
path where there is a gradual spiritual evolution. In this path, if you are
fortunate enough and find the company of spiritual people, you may climb up to
five hundred steps. On the other hand in another life if you land amidst the
company of non-spiritual people you may go down five thousand steps. It is a
very arduous and grueling path. One has to do a lot of incantation of God’s
name, penance and renunciation in order to progress and even then there is no
telling when one will achieve liberation. The other path is the Akram path,
where one is not required to climb any steps. It is a lift (an elevator) path
where you can continue with all your daily mundane activities, fulfill all your
worldly responsibilities towards your wife and children, and still attain
liberation. Nothing will hinder your progress towards liberation. This is an
exceptional path and one, which comes around once every million years.
