LIBERATION....FROM WHAT

Everyone talks about the liberation of soul....Soul....we perceive that there is one.
Liberation originates from LIBERATE...if we try to understand what does liberate mean...it seems like a command...an action...an active participation seems to be closely linked with the word....

But whose participation...is it not self..
And what to liberate...is it not self...So self is what.................everyone understands that...
But liberate from what....i think the most important query...
Every where its written liberation from the past and the future, both, is equally important....living in the present is advocated by all...but how to go about it..

How not to get back to the past achievements or sufferings ....both facets are equally important....past is past... whether good or bad.....Past accomplishments give a pleasant feeling while past failures leave a bad taste in the mouth....but origin of both is deeply embedded in still very fertile soil of the past which is making may be not so futile efforts again and again to resurface and show its barren and ugly face.....

Similar is the case with future planning where the soil is not even ready for cultivation....we put in maximum effort for planning...and may be or may not be, maximum action of the present phase irrigates it....definitely depending on the motivation behind actualization of the plans......No harm in the future planning....but overdoing it won't solve the issues and rather will add to the anxiety levels.....Step by step approach in baby steps, reviewing the situation at regular intervals is rather going to help more effectively....so no long future plannings....

Now what about the present.... the most important and most fertile land which can actually be beautifully cultivated with hard work and right information and approach.....the seeds have to be rooted in this soil of the present with the right effort.......when maximum effort goes into improving the workability in the present...it definitely gives positive results and sense of achievement with it...and a kind of liberation from the thoughts of the past and the future...

So what is actually required........liberation from the thoughts of past and present...
 And also thoughts of attachment with the way we think....we relate....from the past, the future as well as present....Do all the work with best of effort possible...physically, mentally or cognitively...
Once any work is accomplished ....the attachment with the joy of achieving that also has to go....taking all the achievement in its stride....

And if a failure is on the cards then leaving aside the attachment with the sorrow related to it....One always learns much more from failures...as failures are definitely ground for more preparation and rock hard action afterwards....converting failures to learning experiences...the great and very personal stepping stones....

Liberate is action...its not a passive word....it demands a strong push towards freedom from all sorrows and joys alike.....from the inherent thought process....liberation from attachment to all the good as well as bad thoughts.....
