Liberation ~ the fourth aim - staying on the Soulful Path


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The journey of life is not about your body or about your mind, but about your soul. But without the health of your body and your mind the journey is useless. We spend so much time fretting over the configuration of the body and either denying it or giving it pleasure that we lose sight of its purpose. We thrash about in our minds bashing our life with self-loathing, complaints and fear forgetting why we took on this body, this mind and this life.  We are here to find liberation.  Don’t confuse liberation with having the freedom to do whatever you choose. Liberation means to reach a level of peace with life just as it is- it means to become the observer of life free of disturbance and judgement. With liberation comes wisdom.

 

You are here to discover liberation and to gather wisdom; so seek it. Without the experiences of life wisdom can never be found.  One thing I know for sure about wisdom is that it doesn’t come easy and experiences don’t come without living a full life.

 

Wisdom is sometimes defined as knowledge. But plenty of people have knowledge with little common sense or judgment. Wisdom is far more than knowledge; however it does require knowledge and experience. Wisdom is the ability to learn, know and master your life. Wisdom is in knowing the right path to walk. Integrity is walking it. This is the great challenge of soul walking.

 

Along the soulful path there will be many divergences and zigs and zags. There will be times when you will wander so far off the path you get lost. You may never realize the maya of life; the illusion is not in the material world, but how you perceive it. Use the world to realize your highest potential, or the world will use you. This is how you master life and prosper

 

Pay careful attention to energy, direction and consciousness. These three things will guide you towards prosperity. A prosperous world awaits anyone who follows the path with a balanced state of being and a clear mind. Walk, listen, look, feel, smell, taste, touch and intuit the world. Prosperity is everywhere. This will require the ability to find, understand and constructively use the treasures of life.  What are the treasures? Where are the treasures of life? You can find them in the Nidhi the great container of prosperity. But first you must focus on Lakshmi’s four aims or goals; wealth, pleasure, harmony and liberation.

 

Remember liberation is not being able to do whatever you want. It’s the ability to accept and be at peace with things just as they are. Wisdom is in knowing you have the power to change things through your perception and attitudes.

***********

 Observe and remove judgement.. Everyone is doing the very best that they can. If you expect others and the world to be and do as you would like you may end up disappointed and suffer an emotional loss. But if you can accept others and things for who they are and what they are capable of giving, doing and being you will remove expectations and the issues will resolve. Soul walking is paying attention to where you are going, what you are doing and who you are being.  Just remember not all souls are fully evolved, or for that matter ready, willing and able to learn, know and master.  Just stay focused on you and what you are being and doing. This is liberation and his leads to prosperity.

 

To prosper you need to know how to work your karma and then how to keep your focus on the four aims or directions in life; wealth, pleasure, harmony and liberation. Then next you will need to know where to find the Nidhi; the container that holds the treasures of life. Inside the Nidhi you will find all you need to prosper. Where is the Nidhi and what are the treasures? Keep practicing yoga and you will discover the secret of prosperity.
