Firm decision is required to extricate oneself from maya

During his brief stay in Bombay, Baba visited the Wellingtons (the couple whom he had met in May). Baba explained to them:

One should be free from birth and death. But being entrapped in this wheel, one goes round and round and always suffers. It is quite easy to extricate oneself from the rounds of birth and death, but because it is so easy, it becomes so difficult!

Once you firmly decide not to be engulfed in maya, you can disentangle yourself once and for all. But this requires a Sadguru’s grace and, for that, you must be worthy.
