Complete Freedom is Full of Love

Osho had once said that freedom has two sides – from and for. Most of us look at freedom from only one angle – ‘freedom from’ – this could be from nationality, from a certain religious place of worship (church, temple, synagogue, mosque), from a certain race, or from a particular political ideology. This is the first part of freedom – from something – once you have attained this freedom, you will feel very good, very happy and light as if you have removed an inner burden. For the first time you start rejoicing in your own individuality because all this time your individuality was covered with all those things which you have got rid of.

This is just half the issue, then you will start feeling sad as the other half is now missing – the freedom ‘from’ is fulfilled but what about freedom ‘for’? Freedom by itself is meaningless unless it is freedom for something that could be creative like freedom to paint, sculpt, dance and so on. Unless your freedom turns into a creative realisation, you will feel sad because you will notice that you are free, the chains are broken, you are no longer in a mental prison, you are completely free under the starry night, but the question is where to go?

Just freedom in itself has no meaning unless you become creative. You could go deeper into meditation for self-realisation, or you could become creative and discover skills which were hidden under the mental fetters – you could dance, write poems, create music, then the circle is complete.

Now you are completely free, something beautiful has happened, you are filled with love, selfless love! To express this love creatively you go on to discover hitherto hidden skills that express your freedom through creativity; else the freedom is empty. Once you are completely free you will notice that you are now filled completely with a feeling of love which is so fulfilling that it keeps oozing out of your being.

This feeling of love, this energy is felt by nature – by cats, dogs, butterflies, etc as they come close to you to feel the warmth and comfort of that energy. If this energy affects other beings in this manner, imagine the impact on fellow human beings – they too will feel the warmth, the glow of this energy around you.

The aura or love energy around you will make you radiant and light up like a lamp, your friends and not so good friends will be attracted towards you and they won’t know why – this is complete freedom, filled with love. I have personally experienced this in Swamiji’s presence – love, nothing but love energy!

Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev!

  Mahashivratri - Har Har Mahadev! Tomorrow is Mahashivratri – the day Lord Shiva was united with Shakti. It is held on the 14 th night of the new moon in the month of Phalgun (onset of summer) as per the Hindu Calendar. In honour and as a mark of respect and devotion, Hindus fast for the full day and night of Mahashivratri. This is considered to be the darkest night of the year and it celebrates the grace of Lord Shiva who is said to be the Adi Guru or the first Guru from whom the tradition of Yoga originates. Mahashivratri is celebrated throughout the country in various Ashrams by all self-realised Saints in the presence of their devotees – either in the physical form or remotely – this year due to Corona pandemic, this festival will be mainly celebrated online. We, the Samarpan Family too will be celebrating this online through the live webcast on the GuruTattva YouTube channel. All the devotees wait eagerly for this day as the energy is literally palpable and, in my experi...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Talking to your Body Mind

Image
Photo Credit: Pinterest Talking to your Body Mind In the labyrinth of our existence, there exists an unspoken dialogue—a conversation between our body, mind, and spirit. This discourse, often overlooked amidst the cacophony of daily life, holds the key to unlocking our innermost truths and nurturing holistic well-being. To embark on this journey of self-discovery, we must first quiet the noise of the external world and turn our gaze inward. As we delve deeper into the recesses of our being, we encounter the subtle whispers of our body and mind, each conveying its unique wisdom and insight. Our body, a temple of sacred intelligence, communicates its needs and desires through sensations, feelings, and emotions. It speaks the language of sensations—aches, pains, and discomforts—as messengers urging us to pay attention and listen with compassion. Simultaneously, our mind, the orchestrator of our thoughts and perceptions, weaves a tapestry of stories and narratives that shape our reality. I...
