If you are lost while travelling on the road, then if you ask a guide of the road, you will find the right way. Similarly, people have become lost on their way to moksha. They will find a solution when they meet the One (Gnani, the Enlightened One) who is familiar with the way to moksha. ‘We’ are that guide to moksha [the ultimate liberation]! Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

There are many people who believe that there is no way to reach the ultimate liberation, moksha. Their solution is to surrender their will to some other force (God, or God’s representative, the Pope, the guru, the teacher). However, surrendering your will is not the ultimate liberation. That is why many seekers of God who surrender to any force whatsoever fail to find moksha.

Surrendering your will to another force (even if it is God or God’s representative) is like asking a guide for directions when you are lost on the road. The right way will be found only if you ask someone who knows the way. The phrase “we” is telling us that we are that guide!
