"As long one is not able to let go of the insistence on a certain opinion [faith, sect], he has not earned the right for Moksha [Ultimate Liberation]. He is not worthy of Moksha if he is in the sect. He is only worthy of material happiness; he is worthy of a celestial life."

This is most commonly dictated by circumstance and bitterness and excitement.

I've worked with their modern equivalents, and I know what I'm talking about."
