Episode Notes:

FREEDOM AND LIBERATION

1. "Lord Krishna has made it clear in the Gita that worship of gods may lead you at the most to their sphere only, which is a limited one and far below the point of liberation."[Reality at Dawn pg 7] Those who think that they can continue to have their own mode and method of worshipping deities and functionaries and also practice the system of sadhanaas advocated by our Rev. Master would only be swerving away from the path, sure they may return to the path but who knows that may take ages and many lives.

2. What makes us go astray and seek to a) find solutions in deities and other modes of worship and b) find similarities between our method and the so called traditional methods of praise (stotra) and incantations (mantra)? It is only the problems of our life which we sometimes feel as miseries and our desire to get happiness through such methods. Master states that "I wish you to be ever happy, but happiness consists in the due discharge of one's duty. The Gita lays so much stress upon it. It is in fact the very life and soul of spirituality. One must be prepared to face boldly the difficulties and the worries that happen to come across one's way on the path of duty to all those one might be concerned with. This is but a petty sacrifice which is nothing in comparison to the sufferings of all our successive lives. The only thing I insist upon is the due discharge of duty towards the world and the Divine, and that is all and enough for the attainment of liberation within this life. [Silence Speaks pg 381]

3. The problem of life is not just seeking pleasure or even happiness during our life time, but to seek permanent happiness that is attainable only through freedom from our desires and wishes. Until we find this freedom even as Swami Vivekananda put it we do not know the joy of freedom itself. For this one needs to be freed or liberated from the bindings of the desire and wishes. What is the way and how do we accomplish it in a practical manner. Master says "......, if one is to be brought to the stage of Liberation, "...method for it would be to divert his soul towards the Ultimate. The result shall be that he will go on developing till, by the last moment of his life, he will finally reach the destination and attain Liberation. I can proclaim by the beat of the drum that none except a worthy Master having at his command the power of transmission can ever bring forth such wonderful results, and that Raja Yoga alone is the path which promises sure success. But this can fall to the lot of those fortunate ones alone who are actuated by an earnest longing for Liberation and are really destined for it. The various successive steps of yoga laid down in Patanjali's system are all included in the one routine process ...and are covered by the abhyasi without undergoing each one separately. But since that is possible only through the help of Pranahuti, I wish more and more abhyasis to come up to it and be profited thereby. [Silence Speaks pg 423]"

4. "Moksha is commonly presumed to be the final point of most religious pursuits. But moksha may be represented in two ways as salvation and as liberation. Salvation refers to a state of temporary pause in the normal routine of birth and death. This temporary suspension of the normal routine may, in different cases, extend to different lengths of time according to one's attainment. During that period the soul enjoys freedom from rebirth. But after the expiry of that period it returns again into the world to assume a material form. But in the case of liberation, when once it has been achieved, there remains no possibility of the soul's return to the material form. Liberation is literally the end of the routine of births and rebirths."

5. "Liberation has today become very easy because of the presence of the Divine Personality. The conception of people does not generally go beyond the point of liberation which they take to be the final limit of human approach. But that is a wrong idea. As a matter of fact liberation is the lowest attainment on the Divine path, hence it is just like a toy for a child to play with. Beyond that there is yet a lot to be achieved. The Infinite Ocean lies still ahead. It is a limitless expanse. Have your eyes fixed upon Thatand only That, and go on and on to trace it out."

6. Master says that "I have a heart ever ready to help anyone who might be in need of help. I take the job not as a master but only as a humble servant of humanity. There are and have been masterly gurus who work and have worked as masters in their time, but I prefer to be a servant instead, and to work as a servant for the good of the people in general. Please do what you are told to do, and keep me informed of your day to day progress and also of the difficulties if any. I may assure you that you can achieve the goal very easily if you go on persistently with constant remembrance."

7. Our Grand Master who throws fresh light on any subject that he touches says that "Attaining freedom from miseries is liberation. Liberation is both permanent and temporary. When the liberation is such that the bondage of sorrow is never felt it is permanent liberation. [Truth Eternal.pg135]"That which is the cause of bondage, when reversed, helps in attaining liberation. There are three causes of bondage: (1)Remembrance, (2)Meditation, (3)Bhajan. When the practice of these three is associated with external things, the result would be birth and bondage. And when they are practiced at heart internally keeping the goal constantly in view, it will result in freedom from external and surface bondage.

Reverse these according to the instructions of the Master. There should be resistance to outside impressions, and the inner veil should be removed. Then gradually the meaning of liberation will become clear and liberation will be attained. [Truth Eternal. pg 138]

8. The impressions and samskaras that we form we know are what we reap as results of karma. Master says "As for Prarabdha Karma, I think and see in my vision that they are in store for bhoga, as every action of body or mind produces some effect. We can attain liberation when we have cleared ourselves of all the past impressions. It is of course a tedious task. In Raja Yoga, they appear for bhoga in an almost fried up state due to abhyas and good guidance. The process of bhoga is also carried on during sleep provided the Master - the essential need in spirituality - is worthy of the task to bring these things round for bhoga in the dream. We have only to unveil ourselves through devotional practices. [Silence Speaks pg 330]"

9. Master asserts that "As long as all Samskaras are not thrown out, there cannot be Liberation [Silence Speaks pg 281]"

10. He gives us enormous hope and courage in attaining liberation by making a categorical statement that "Our system is meant exclusively for the attainment of Liberation and beyond, hence, far away from baser ideals I impart the same to every one even from my first contact [Silence Speaks pg 216]"

11. Master makes it point to stress that Raja yoga is the only means for attaining liberation. Once an aspirant asked me whether the word "Raja yoga" was used by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita and the answer for that can be only a "No" but such queries are quasi intellectual and trying to avoid the liberating force of the Master Lord Krishna who in so many ways said that what the doctrine expounds is the secret doctrine of the Rajas. Be that as it may. Master asserts that "As for the attainment of liberation or complete freedom almost all the great sages of the past and the present agree on the point that Raja Yoga alone is the path that ensures success up to the final point of human approach, and everyone dedicated to complete freedom must sooner or later come up to it."

12. Grand Master Rev. Lalaji Maharaj said that "Liberation means becoming free. Freedom from bondage is called liberation. These two conditions are related to the mind. Mind alone experiences. Mind alone accepts and feels bondage and freedom. This knowing and feeling
