Who is truly liberated?

Who is truly liberated?

Not the one who earns good Karma but the one who transcends Karma? Not the one who just tries to use spiritual meditation to create emptiness in his life thinking that this will give spiritual awakening, but the one who is mindful of his mind. Liberation doesn’t just come from Yoga or being in Union with God, rather this mindfulness is required for transcending the mind and attaining self-realization. Only then, one will have spiritual growth which finally leads to spiritual enlightenment.

Realization wipes out ignorance and liberates us from Karma. We must realize who we truly are. We are not the body, nor the mind or ego, but we are the Divine Energy that gives life to the body. When we realize this, we are able to disassociate from all the pain, sorrow and misery that we experience as ignorant human beings and then we attain liberation from creating any Karma. Constantly being with a steady intellect is the key to liberation.

Therefore, if we seek liberation then we must check our path. If we are passing these four doors to liberation, Discrimination, Dispassion, Discipline, and Desire for God, then we are on our way to enlightenment. We will realize the truth. This self-realization leads to liberation which is nothing but enlightenment.
