If you observe carefully, you will find that everything, visible and non-visible, from sub-atomic particles to gigantic stars, is struggling for the freedom. Moon is struggling to come out from the orbit of the earth. The earth is struggling to come out from the orbit of the sun. The sun is continually running away to get the freedom.
No one wants bondage. Freedom is a natural quest for all living beings. Be happy, be happy and be happy. But, how can the happiness be attained without freedom? We generally do the mistake of understanding a temporary pleasure as happiness.
A Human sees an opposite sex and attached to that. Instantly, he becomes a slave of sex. He surrenders to it. He is a slave of intoxication. He says no to intoxication in the beginning, but with a little persuasion, he consumes it. He is the slave of money. He is a slave of fame and name. He is a slave of maintaining his social status. He is a slave of his conditioned mind. He is a slave of his unbridled senses.
Until and unless you become the master of your mind and senses, you cannot get the freedom from anything in this world. Every time and everywhere your mind and senses make you be a prey of the circumstances. Human is entangled everywhere. He is surrounded by the slavery. When his slavery is appreciated in one or another form, he gets temporary pleasure. From the next day, he is the same slave carrying the burden of the world in his mind in order to maintain his superficial imagined self-image.
For the absolute happiness, an absolute freedom is required. But question arises – is, really, such kind of freedom possible to experience an absolute happiness?
All the living and celestial beings are bound by the Karma. They cannot do but to attach to whatever the role has been given to them or designed for them. A lion can do nothing but to hunt, he cannot learn and make a nest like birds. A mango tree is programmed to produce mango, nothing else. The moon has no choice, but to revolve around the earth and the earth has no choice, but to revolve around the sun. But, this is not the case with the human body and mind.
Humans have the potential to get the freedom. The ultimate purpose of the soul is to get freedom from all kind of bondage created by different kinds of the influences of the mind. As a human, you should have freedom to choose your own thought.
You should have a choice over what you should do and what not according to your personality and temperament. You must be free and strong enough to reject the influence of the thought of others on you. You must be free to choose the lifestyle the way you want, not something imposed by someone.
You must be free from fear of losing something in your life. You must hold your mind free to flow the supernatural thoughts in it. Cut the strings of the various bondages and limitations of your life with the sword of knowledge to fulfill the sworn of the complete freedom of human life. You must be free to choose the life the way you want without caring for the initial obstructions.
Be whatever you want to be in your life, but do not bind or identify yourself with anything temporary. Not identifying you with anything external is the sign of freedom. The moment you bind yourselves with your wealth, post, position, name and fame, you become the slave. And the food of happiness is never served on the plate of the slaves.
Strive for the freedom from the various bondages created in your life with your conditioned mind. Only the freedom gives the nectar of happiness and opens the door to salvation.
