Question:
   What happens to a person who goes through
   the motions of bara nyasam when he is young
   and under the control of parents, but after
   that caught up in day-to-day life and never 
   thinks of the Lord, nature of self or such
   things?  Would he attain mOksham at the end 
   of his present life, per our theology?  If so,
   is a basic knowledge of self a requisite?  
   Please note that my question is not about
   what is desirable.


Thanks, Dileepan
