Moksha - Freedom From All Limitations

EVERY person wants security and happiness, and thus should learn the secrets of Artha and Kama, which are the means to acquire relative security and pleasure here in this life. This journey should be a very conscientious one too, we should be sensitive to others and thereafter live our lives. Now, presuming that there is a person who has learned the art of acquiring wealth, enjoys the various pleasures nicely, and also cares for his brethren around, what more does one want.

Fine, we have various worldly pleasures at our disposal, but doesn’t the very necessity to get more and better pleasures show that our cup within is yet to be full?

Real security within will be revealed only when the very desire to get security becomes redundant. So also the dawn of real happiness will be inferred only when there are no self-centred desires any more. Not that such a person will be averse to prosperity or comforts, but is not averse to absence of these too. Motivations at such levels disappear, and such a person is at home every where. Such a state of existence alone is real freedom, that’s liberation. Liberation is freedom from a sense of lack, a sense of insecurity and fear. This is possible when a person discovers that he or she is free from all limitations of time and space, that one is really the transcendental reality itself. The taking of ourselves as a limited being is an erroneous conclusion of our mind. This is not true. If there is one basic reality in the world then that reality should be the basic essence of all. That is what the Upanishads are thundering - you are that. Turning our mind from all other preoccupation’s and starting a process of deep introspection to realize our basic essence is what Moksha is all about. It is not turning away from life all together, but till you discover your true Self. Having known your true being live like aa truly healthy man, this is how all avatars and saints lived. Live a life that leaves your footprints on the sands of time.
