What Is Liberation
- Swami
RamdasSlide2
Ramdas
sees many a struggling aspirant still in the clutches of certain
sadhanas
, depending on externals and hugging them with a dogged pertinacity, thus setting up a stumbling block in their progress towards the supreme goal of perfect liberation. The external vision, however glorious, is not the true vision, if it is not based upon the internal. This they do not want to understand.Slide3
When the false conventions and ostentatious observances are broken through, the soul is liberated. Slide4
For realizing the Truth no external paraphernalia is necessary. No garb, no sign, no cult and no creed can help you. The day will come when you have to leave all these behind, and go to meet the Eternal in the perfect nakedness of your Spirit, shedding all make-believe forms, customs and traditions. Slide5
Simplicity, spontaneity and humility become the guiding principles of your life. You move freely with all. You love all alike. You break all boundaries set by the calculating and selfish human mind. Slide6
You soar like a free bird in the infinite expanse of the spiritual firmament. You look upon all beings and creatures as the embodiment of the one divine all-pervading Spirit. Slide7
Temples, Ashrams, mosques, churches, synagogues,
Viharas
, etc., cannot imprison your soul. You find your soul’s delight and joy at all places — in the best as well as the worst.Slide8
The supreme Truth, by the realisation of which alone the soul attains the real peace and bliss – which is the sole object of its quest – can be reached only by throwing up all external crutches and aids of every kind, however useful and necessary they might have been at one time. Slide9
So
Ramdas
hammers into their heads: “Behold God within you, and then behold Him everywhere, as all the manifested worlds. Don't adhere to the lower planes and seek satisfaction there. Soar up into the regions of your transcendent Being. Aspire, aspire, aspire until the highest goal is reached”.
Ramdas
' message is: “Absolute Perfection i.e. complete liberation, peace and joy”.
