Liberation

What does liberation mean to you? It surely spells freedom for most of us, and rightly so. When I think about ‘liberation’, I see a picture of a bird flying high in the azure skies and unreservedly winging in to the horizon! The bird is liberated from every boundary and limitation.
Just in case you have not contemplated being liberated as yet, then you could simply be doing yourself an injustice. This is mainly because as humans we have the right to experience as well as enjoy liberation. Even the sheer thought of liberation, frees our soul and releases it from all the bindings and impediments that life brings forth.
My Observation With Liberation

Some days ago I saw a group of ants and this is what I observed. One of the ants was hauling a huge load and feeling the burden of this load greatly. It was struggling to move ahead with the weight it was carrying. Life did not seem easy for the ant and after a while it seemed to have lost the ability to haul its ‘affluence’ any further. It could not let it go nor move ahead. The ant sadly died but the others in the group seemed to be moving along quite happily as they were carrying much lighter loads. They had much smaller heaps of their materialistic provisions and were thus liberated!
The Need For Liberation
We, as humans need to break free and liberate our physical, mental and spiritual entities and then and only then will we be able to soar high in the sky like the bird in my vision. How rightly this has been put into words by Marianne Williamson –

“As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.”
Breaking Free
It becomes easier to become liberated when you feel the need and have the understanding of the factual connotation of being liberated! It is when you are able to realize that whatever the life you are living today is essentially not you. You are only a spectator who is experiencing life’s drama. You are not the person, the body or the mind.

Once that you are liberated and detached from all limitations and bindings, you become boundless and infinite. You are liberated even from the restraints of both life as well as death. When you value being liberated, you also tend to discover enlightenment.

When you truly feel that you are liberated, you are able to enjoy every moment of life without being attached and without being remorseful. Imagine watching a movie, which is of a more serious kind. You have this understanding throughout the show, that you are only the spectator and not part of that movie. Thus you can enjoy watching even a poignant movie. On the other hand, if you are even remotely allied with the characters or events portrayed in the movie, you could never enjoy it. In fact, it would turn out to be an enduring experience for you.
