Liberation

We are living very fast in this age, this is an era of advanced technology and advanced science. We cannot spare time to think for some time, the world will not wait for us. In this position how can we think and discuss about any important subject in detail so it is always made short as per our recent habit, unfortunately it is seen that our problem never been solved rightly nor we take any right discussion so each problem, continuous for long time.

Very often we discuss about the competition and discrimination between a boy and girl or man and woman, it is an issue of social condition, political condition, and economic condition also very common in the every corner of the Globe. In every sense, every situation, every ideas women are standing on the same level with a man to win the race. Fortunately or unfortunely in most of the places women are the winner.

I am not criticizing this point as women are conquering over the male dominating society and establishing themselves proving their intelligence and power. I should say this situation is not about new senses because as per our scripture, in the Vedic ages women were so learned, they had the right of taking part in every situation, in every field of work, also making discussion, scientific researches. They took part in not only for their family but the society and the country, so this is not a new concept of this advanced life in this advanced age.
As the scripture says, Lord Krishna is the creator of this Universe, He is the Supreme Personality of the Godhead, He has made all the necessary laws, they are known as the laws of nature. These laws have no discrimination. God Himself explained in Shrimad Bhaghvat Gita, that He has prescribed and allotted duties and roles to every living entity. In His creation He has allotted some responsibility to men as they will take care of his family and the country, women have other responsibilities for their family and the country .Scriptures has cleared that a man will take care of a woman in her every stage other life with love and care.

Now the question arises if we are following the law of nature and we are protective to every woman then why most of the women are not happy and not satisfied in their life, often they are brutally tortured. There are many questions but as we are living a fast life , in short time discussions we always come to the conclusion point of Liberation .We feel this is the only solution , but how it can be implemented ?What is the meaning of liberation?

Liberation is not about an independent life, but entails freedom from all false conception. Lord Krishna has explained and defined this word in Shrimad Bhaghvat Gita, the word liberation means ‘Muktir Hitwa Anyata Rupam’. Mukti means to give up, Anyata Rupam means the false conception of life. The stage of liberation is also called the Brahma Bhuta means acquiring proper knowledge and attaining the stage is characterized by the Lord Krishna in the chapter 18. Sloka 54 in Shrimad Bhaghvat Gita. He the Supreme Personality of the Godhead says , gaining knowledge of self realization one attains the Liberation , becomes a happy soul as He says Prasanna Atma , Now we should think about the goal of our life that can help us to understand what is right and what is wrong . Gaining the knowledge of the self realization should be our goal of our life, by this we will be strong enough to take the perfect decisions and we will be able to maintain the discipline followed by the law of the Nature. Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said in Chaitnya Charitamrita “BRAHMANDA BHRAMITE KONO BHAGYABAN JIB GURU KRISHNA PRASADE PAYE BHAKTILATA BIJ”. It means after wandering different species of life one fortunate person receives the seed of pure devotional services by the grace of Guru the spiritual master and Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of the Godhead. So it is very clear and easy instruction given by the Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, to gain the knowledge of self realization we need the seed of devotional services, which can be received from a bonafied spiritual master and then the Grace of the Lord Krishna.

Most importantly it is not the question of discrimination, not about the misconception of the word liberation, it is the question that we are not following the law of nature and we are not obedient to the Supreme power of Absolute Truth. Basically the law of the nature is the doctrine of every Religion. So these laws are known to each and every person in any corner of the world.

When we will follow the law of nature we will find the world so beautiful, fragrance of goodness will erase our problems and sorrows. Our soul is the part of the Supreme Godhead PARAMATMA, when we will be His obedient by His blessings we will enjoy constant joy and peace, it will fulfill the ultimate goal of our life. Every successful person has proved this by following the law of nature, let’s start this habit now and for ever.

The atman is neither man or woman, nor black or white, nor human or animal. These are the forms that the atman takes when it takes on a body...not just a physical body.. but also all the things that go with it...social and otherwise... I call it "embodiment".

The emobodiment is to the atman what your clothes are to you. Something important for now, but can easily be taken off. Not part of who you are.

We are the characters of a play. Yet does the clothes fit the person? Should a beautiful person wear clothes to hide her beauty of to highlight it? Should an active person wear clothes that restrict movement?

There comes a time when our consciousness is clear of ignorance like the glass chimney of a lamp that has just been cleaned. At the time our true nature will shine on to everything. Until then we continue to polish the glass.

And when the glass is truly clear, then the Purusha perceives itself (sorry purusha in this case is not male, but beyond male and female) in the clear mirror of Prakriti and instantaneously realizes its true nature.

The greatest man who ever existed is Artha Nareeswari. Sankara learnt at his own cost, that one cannot ignore sakti in search of shiva.

Nature would be inanimate if there was no dance of the sexes. In every atom, every living creature, the dance of shiva-shakti reveals itself. Respect shiva, respect shakti.

Krishna is incomplete without his bhaktas and who can match the bhakti of the gopis whom krishna himself loved so dearly. Lord if I could be granted a wish, let me reborn as a gopi who can live with you forever in your garden.
