Freedom is the Ultimate Joy!

 

- I want to live with complete freedom now!

- So who has stopped you?

Basically, a human being is free by the law of Nature

And his significance also in this freedom only!

In Nature, except for mankind, no other species enjoys any kind of freedom!

- But I am not free to do anything I want in life...

I have been trapped from all sides by everyone!

- Stop blaming others!

You yourself are responsible for your situation.

- What are you saying? Why would I enslave myself?

- That’s the whole point!

No one can tie down a human being even for a second against his wishes

He may have physical limitations

But it is he who keeps binding himself emotionally and mentally

And every attachment eventually leads to stress within

No matter how affable the attachment is!

- How? Please explain in detail...

- I’ll explain it right away.

You think you have to do certain things in life

So you compel yourself to do those things

It is your own choice; nobody forces you

Initially you desire a few things

And then you get bound by the need to fulfil them

Here too, you are only responsible for binding yourself

Similarly, there are some relations you wish to build

And some you wish to sustain

So you get bound to make efforts in that direction

And what do I say about religious and social commitments!

You get confined to a yearly time-table of the calendar

Keeping track of when to fast and when to go to church

...In reality, Nature has created you like the lion, the king of the jungle

But you, being moulded by external influences

Tame yourself to become a circus lion!

- Well, that we surely have become, but what is the solution for us to get back to becoming the roaring lion of the jungle?

- The first step is to realize that it is you and only you who has enslaved yourself

Hence, stop holding others responsible for it altogether

...And when you are at fault, with introspection you will surely find the way

- Ok! Thank you!
