My
Dear Ones,
Living in freedom is a longing that is deep within the human
soul. We long to be free of fear, worry, anxiety and pain
and to live in a constant state of love, peace and security.
Is this just a fantasy? Or is this longing an expression of
what exists deep within us seeking to manifest?
This longing is what drove me to spirituality. Somewhere deep
within me I knew that life was much more than eating, sleeping,
procreating and dying. There had to be more to human existence.
We could not be born to live in misery and pain without the
hope of experiencing something deeper. I could not understand
during my early days of searching, how people could live in
such bondage. How could they live with uncontrolled minds,
emotional instability and uncertainty of the future? How could
they live without the knowledge of who they really are, where
they have come from and where they are going? This ignorance
was in itself a misery for me and drove me on a passionate
and relentless search for freedom.
I do believe that if we seek sincerely, we will find. All
those who are seeking and not finding need to really reflect
on whether their searching is strong enough. Our Universe
is a benevolent one and opens Its doors to the true seeker.
My search for freedom led me on a fascinating journey of my
inner world revealing possibilities beyond my wildest dreams.
Now I know with certainty that we are more than just physical
beings.
The physical level even at its best, is limiting. Its pleasures
are fleeting and it carries very painful experiences as well.
No matter how sweet the pleasure may be, it is never lasting
and it leaves an insatiable desire for more. Even those with
diseased bodies continue to seek pleasure, though it may be
harmful to their health. Such is the story of the physical
world. It is the level where there is disease, aging and death.
One can be hopelessly caught in its deathly grasp in the search
of true happiness. Understanding this early in life, I searched
for deeper levels of my being where I could be free from this
pleasure trap.
As I explored my mental world I was fascinated by ideas showing
different possibilities to human existence. My mind was opened
up to the possibility of a spiritual existence and the idea
of immortality. No matter how many lofty ideas occupied my
mind, there were always questions. Ideas were not satisfying
and it left my mind eventually restless. Soon enough I realized
that even the best ideas are limiting as only experience can
bring true satisfaction. So my goal was direct experience,
as I saw it as my way to freedom.
As I focused on my emotional world and its possibilities,
my overwhelming desire was to experience a depth of love that
was unconditional and constant. It was difficult for me to
live in a state of fluctuating emotions, being happy in one
moment and sad in the next. I longed for that happy feeling
that would stay. I wanted to be free of fluctuating emotions.
When my spiritual consciousness was awakened I began to feel
a part of my being that was different to my physical, mental
and emotional being. Just to experience this was a joy. I
was touching a very deep place that brought my mind to a standstill.
Deep feelings of love began to emerge and peace filled my
being. This place seemed unfathomable. No matter how deep
I tried to go I could find no end. Here I understood what
true freedom meant. I felt untouched by fluctuating thoughts
and emotions, and a space that brought deep relaxation to
my physical body.
As I got deeper into this space, my self-awareness changed.
I realized I was more than I thought I was. I existed in a
very powerful Source which was with me in every moment. This
gave me a feeling of great security and strength.
This is the place of true freedom. This is where we can deal
positively with illness of the body, negative thoughts in
the mind and depressing emotions. Here we can tap into the
healing power of our Source and transform the mind into a
friend. This is the place we all need to be. The question
is: “Are we ready to go there?” If you really
are, the Universe will guide you there. Seek and you will
find!
In loving service,
Vasudeva
