Bondage is Illusion
Through his
every activity and thought, man tries to move to a state of freedom.
It is his innate desire though he may not be able to express it
verbally.
This desire can be expressed in words as :
To do as one wants.
Not to be bothered by others.
Not to be bothered by one's own thoughts.
Not to be bothered by disease, accident or losses.
Still to live in the world.
This freedom is man's natural state. This freedom remains elusive
not because he has done something wrong, or his actions and thinking
do not conform to a particular moral or ethical code.
You cannot have this freedom by any of your actions or by practising
any technique. It would be dependence upon the technique. No body
can transfer it to you. You would be dependent upon him. Freedom
will be lost.
Universe is Order. It does not punish us in the form of disease,
accident, conflict or losses because of our lack of knowledge or
capacity.
The loss of freedom is the result of an illusion in the human mind.
When the illusion is cleared, we release ourselves to unbound joy.
Let us explore.

Compulsive Movements
The states of intoxication desired through drinks, sex, power, money
and so on are indeed true, that is why these states have a strong
attraction. To deny their attraction would be to deny the self.
While enjoying, thought comes in and makes a dent in the psyche
as if the enjoyment has been stolen from the normal life. Then again,
we put ourselves in a state of denial so that we may enjoy in contrast
to that denial. We become bound by this pattern.
Our intercourse
with the material thing is over; we now become interested in enjoying
'taste' (thought) of taste. The senses enjoy the taste of material
item, which is a natural phenomenon. It can never bind you. It is
over when the item is no longer there. You are bound only by the
thought of taste. The gratification desired by thought can never
be quenched. So, it becomes your addiction.
Why not enjoy
the thought of taste?
You can enjoy, but beware; this is only in relation to your state
of denial. You will have to put yourself in a state of denial to
enjoy the thought of taste. Hence, you find yourself miserable time
and again.

Psychological Nothingness Liberates you
When hung between two choices, one may make 'n' number of mental
or emotional calculations but at the time of action, one must not
feel attraction or resistance towards the side not chosen. Such
actions are always right or they do not fit into right-wrong, good-bad,
moral-immoral dualities. There is freeness at the moment of action
which liberates you from the clutches of time and result. Therefore,
the vulnerable point is the point of attraction or resistance towards
the side not chosen.
It requires
concentration and energy to watch oneself in action. Normally we
are waylaid by the satisfaction promised by the result of the side
chosen. In that attraction, we ignore the attraction or resistance
given by the side not chosen. Until I feel completeness of the moment
at the time of action, I shall be facing the attraction or resistance
of the side not chosen, again and again. This is a timeless moment
(each moment) provided to me so that I may get united to the 'whole'.
Psychological freedom at the moment of action frees you from the
results of action.
Silence, which is put together by thought, is friction. You cannot
become silent with any effort of yours. Silence means effortlessness.
It comes when we become aware of the futility of taking any side(s)
which thought is projecting.
I want to eat sugar. Thought comes in and stops that it is not good
for health. Now if I do not eat sugar, there is friction in the
mind. If I eat it, I am satisfied that I have controlled my senses.
To overcome the friction of not eating, I want to convert it into
my satisfaction of winning over my senses. This satisfaction is
also a friction as it involves sacrificing the taste of sugar.
Can I watch that whatever side I choose, it will cause friction?
Can I ignore this game of the mind, which wants to allure me, satisfy
me in some thing or some idea? Can you watch the futility of selecting
any side?
Just see one thing is sure to happen, you will eat sugar or you
will not.
Can you step back and see the workings of your mind?
Can you ignore the satisfaction given by eating sugar or leaving
sugar? The factual taste of sugar, which your senses sense has little
to do with this game of the mind. The game of the mind is to drag
you towards some satisfaction continuously.
Can you be aware of this mechanism?
The satisfaction enjoyed by you whether by eating or leaving sugar
is sure to boomerang. It is always partial as the friction is looming
side by side this satisfaction. The awareness of this mechanism
is an invitation to 'wholeness' to operate. It will not matter whether
the result is eating sugar or leaving sugar. You enjoy a sense of
freeness by ignoring the satisfaction. This freedom is not dependant
upon results.

Negative Situations
When you are
in a negative situation or feel bad in a negative situation (including
disease, accident), you may think that it is because you were not
careful or intelligent enough to ward off such a situation - learn
that it is only due to the fact that you were gratified in your
life somewhere that your connection to the 'whole' was weak, which
gave rise to such a situation.
You may feel
that your decisions were not cleverly taken or you lacked sufficient
knowledge due to which the negative situation arose. There is nothing
to feel guilty about, which is another game of mind to be satisfied
in being low. Just watch and be assured that at whatever level of
knowledge you are, unless you sleep in your gratifications, such
situations would not be there or you will not feel bad in such situations.
Your decisions at the moment or your knowledge are of peripheral
importance; deep down it is an indication only that your cocoon
is not the truth.

Understanding the Freedom Delivers
No theory, philosophy
or technique can lead you to be in that state. At the most, they
can take you to the inquiry state, the journey beyond which is exclusive.
No book, no teaching can go further. These can feed your inquiry.
Once you yourself enquire into your own inner working, the function
of the book is over. You take your own path. Till that time, you
are simply gratified by books or teachers against your present state
which you term as unsatisfactory.
There is no
application of what has been stated. You understand, that is all.
If you try to apply this and obtain results, you are in the same
circle.
It is mutation in the brain itself and not to influence or affect
the outer actions consciously through some effort.

Nectar of Joy is here only- in your Natural
State
Watching your
inner reactions without any motive of satisfaction in any polarity
is meditation. You have to abandon struggle, effort, motive and
hope in watching your reactions. In fact, this is the only jump,
which one has to take devoid of thought. Abandoning the motive puts
you in a state where action is effortless. This abandoning the motive
is not with reference to any thing. In the inner temple, you are
to go naked shorn of all psychological loadings. Even if you have
loadings on your mind, let there be silent submission that you are
unable to unload. Things will be taken care of. But you are not
concerned with this. You have drunk the nectar of joy.
You may come to a state when this attentive flow becomes natural,
all time. Something happens which will be exclusive to you. You
cannot invite this state with effort.
