We are already Liberated
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2016 7:06 am
We are already free. Seekers seeking liberation, seeking to be free, sadly don’t realize that they are already free, because the mind does not permit them to think that they are free. The mind uses the ego, the sense organs and itself to make them feel imprisoned; prisoner to pleasure, power, possessions. The mind wanders. It distracts. The senses attract, create desires, cravings and a sense of freedom, which in its true sense is lost.
We don’t need to acquire freedom; we are already free. We only need to drop the imaginary chains that chain us - the imaginary chains that become a part of the illusion samsaar. The illusionary maya, mythiya make us feel that we are prisoners. Therefore, it is not that something needs to be done to be free, to be liberated. We just need to acknowledge, realize who we are. We are that. We are not this. The moment we feel we are this, we are the body imprisoned, but the moment we feel we are that - in a moment, the freedom is realized and we don’t have to do anything to acquire liberation.
Therefore, it is up to us to drop this feeling of bondage, this feeling of seeking liberation. Why seek liberation when you are already liberated?
