We all want and aspire for freedom. Freedom from what? According to my understanding derived from my experiencing freedom, freedom is a state of mind. A noisy mind is not a free mind. It argues back and forth to prove who is right and who is wrong. There is no peace in my life if my mind is caught up in this right-and wrong game. In order to realize the truth of isness I need to keep the light of choiceless awareness, inner freedom which will not get caught up and bound by either or mindset. Realization of the inner pure truth makes me from a self-created prison.
I am regularly practicing non-judgemental awareness, mindfulness and that helps me not to be bound by myself created blindness. When I lose my path of self realization I create clouds blocking my inner light and I go astray. I have learnt how to keep the inner light shining to keep me walking on the Divine Path.
I know it takes time for self-realization. I am not in a rush. Last night I was listening to a beautiful uplifting song sung in Hindi- Dheeme dheeme means slowly slowly. I am not in a rush. Light comes and goes. And I have learned to walk on the path of liberation. It is a pilgrimage and I am not in a rush. I am walking slowly.
May we all be blessed to walk on the path of liberation.
Namaste!
