Seeking Liberation
Bondage
of any kind is a stigma to beings. They struggle to liberate themselves. Man,
in particular wants to rid himself of all barriers.
Man
is able to realize some day that he is not the body. He is the immortal self-enshrined
in the body. All limitations belong to the body and not to the self. Transcending
the body consciousness is liberation. In self-knowledge the shackles of the
body such as birth and death are dropped off.
As the snake is different from its
slough man the self is different from his body. He Ought to seek liberation
from the sheath called the body.
-Ramakrishana
