Secret to Liberation
Secret means something that is hidden and is not part of general knowledge. The question is-Why do people not find Liberation even when they say that they want it? The reason is that the way to liberation is a secret way. Brothers-remember that the boat has to be in the water-there is no other way for it to exist but if the water comes above the level of the boat then the boat sinks in the ocean. In the same way, the mind has to live in this Sansaar-world but if instead of getting overwhelmed by the world and its pleasures and pains, if that mind is able to focus on the creator then that mind finds freedom and liberation. If the things of the world; if outward appearances of things in the world and / or subjects concerning the world, arouse deep interest in the mind and come to reside in the mind then liberation is not possible. Why is this so? Because when the Jeevatma-the individual soul leaves the body at the time of death it forgets the body quickly but the Jeevatma does not forget the mind. In fact it carries along the mind with it even after death. It is the very same mind and its interests and desires that lead to the formation of the next birth of that Jeevatma. (more…)
