Stillness ...

We are seeking freedom. But what is this freedom that we are seeking? Freedom from what? Are we not free? Are we in bondage then? Freedom from the sufferings of our lives.  Freedom from restlessness, worries and anxieties. Freedom from anger and jealousy. Freedom from pride and arrogance. Freedom from incessant thinking, planning and calculations. Freedom from attachments and desires. Freedom from all conditioning of the mind. Freedom from the likes and dislikes and beliefs that has shaped the personality.  Freedom from the ego-self. Freedom from the mind. Freedom from identification with the body. Freedom means shining of the true Self. Silence. Peace. Contentment. Love. Bliss.  When the Self shines, in its presence, mind loses its existence as the moon loses its lustre in splendor and brilliance of the Sun. 

No where to go Nothing to achieve No one to impress Nothing to prove No statement to make No one to become No urge to act No urge to resist No motive to do anything Nothing to look forward to Offering resistance to nothing Accepting whatever happens Surrendering to the divine will Just be Fear of nothing Desire of nothing Win it or lose it Do this or do that This job or that job Success or failure This happens or that Doesn't matter When established in the Self Nothing really matters!
