FREEDOM

 Freedom from Self & Others' Expectations

* The key to attain happiness

* The key to attain freedom

* The key to attain Zero-level expectation 

* The key to free oneself from self-expectation and others' expectations. 

"Desires and Expectations are keys to the Gateway of Sorrows".

Here, I will focus on Spiritual Freedom - Freedom from all forms of sorrows, desires, expectations. Freedom from all evil thoughts and negative thoughts. 

Several times, we experience being in bondage when we have any desire. We should understand that it is our responsibility to give happiness through those relationships. However, there is a reality that no matter how much we try to make others happy, they are not satisfied. Bondage arises when we try to make others happy and they respond with sorrow. 

If there is some bondage, I feel sorrow when I try to disengage. These are relationships based on body or blood. When anyone of our relatives leave their bodies, we are filled with despair and tears. During such situations, we need to be able to stabilize our self (the soul) and not take sorrow. 

We need to have the deep realization that "I have to be free from any bondage in the world. I need to receive liberation from the Divine, from all that is negative". "Liberation in life" means  the experience of peace, love and joy while staying in this body. I should have no more bondage to customs, systems or people. 

The deeper I go within to look at myself, the more I am able to understand myself. At several times, these bondages create hindrance and don't allow to go deeper into myself. I need to keep the faith that I am making connection with the Almighty Authority, with the Divine, from whom I am attaining all powers and have began to experience the "TRUE FREEDOM".

Pain- Past Actions and Reactions

•  What is the ultimate goal of pain/ sorrow?
• What are the factors that cause pain/ sorrow?
• What are the factors that can help to reduce the pain/ sorrow?
•  What is the only proper remedy to overcome the pain/ sorrow - Unconditional and complete surrendrance of myself to the Almighty Authority. 
  
  

Let's have a quick recap. 
1.  Pain/ Sorrow - is result of the actions performed by us either in the present moment or in the past part (moments) of our life. Pain is basically due to the reactions done by us. For this, we need to know the difference between Action and Reaction by the person who performs the work. 
 2.  Pain/ Sorrow -  is basically caused due to the reactions performed by the person. The abode of pain is nowhere else than our own beautiful heart. Our heart is the most important organ of a human body because when the heart stops working, the human body turns out to be dead because the human soul leaves the human body. When any other organ in the Human body stops working or malfunctions, still the heart beats in the body and the soul still persists in the human body so the Human body survives. Since Pain/ Sorrow lives in the heart of a human body and with every heart beat, the pain/ sorrow pinches into the Human soul- so it becomes more and more painful to tolerate such pain/ sorrow created by our own actions for our own self. 
3.  Pain/ Sorrow - It's true that the abode of pain is in the heart of a person who performs the action and creates the pain for himself/ herself. Our heart feels the pain/ sorrow but then it's the temporary abode of pain. The moment the result is either forecasted or  reflected or in actual the end result occurs - at that very moment, the pain in the heart is the most. At that moment, we need to develop utmost patience with positive knowledge to bear/ tolerate the pain. Not, react to such end result and blame others for the situation created, thus creating more and more hazels for self and others. By and by as time passes, the pain gets reduced because we start to search ways for reducing the pain. Here, suddenly a situation arises. The brain or rather mind interferes into the situation of pain. The heart tries to reduce the feeling of pain. Suddenly, the mind reminds the heart of the pain caused sometime in the past and forces the heart not to forget the pain as well as not to forgive the person whom we either blame or think responsible for creating the pain for myself. So, the brain/ mind forms the permanent abode of pain/ sorrow. It's the mind which doesn't allow the heart to settle the pain away from our lives and time to time keeps the pain awaken in present time & future time of our lives. In some form, the heart mutually agrees and deliberately wants to forget and give-up such situations- such pain causing situations. But then, the mind soars high and thrushes the little heart- not to forget such situations. The mind tries to over-empower the little heart. But, forget not- Heart is always superior to Mind because Heart is pure, lawful, loveful, peaceful, blissful whereas Mind is knowledgeful and powerful.

4.  Pain/ Sorrow - plays an immense painful role in our lives. Pain takes away/ peels off all positivity, positive energy, self- belief, soul-confidence, God's confidence along with other divine virtues & powers from our own self. Initially,we start with a work (input), then continue with the process involved in the work (processing) and finally, complete the work with a conclusion (output of the work). The moment we start a work, we are filled with enthusiasm and zeal to do and accomplish the work fruitfully and blissfully. In the beginning, all positive feelings surround us and we are energized with utmost positive energy to carry on with the work and complete it. The moment 50% or half of the work is done, the positivity regarding the work gets reduced and gradually, our mind gets inclined towards the dark end of the work. Remember, it's the mind which starts with all negative thoughts about completion of the work. Here again, the heart builds up courage, patience, trustworthiness over the self and the Almighty Authority, love towards the work along with positivity for the end result. Heart encourages us to carry on the with work in a positive manner. The heart embraces us with all energy and teaches us - "Everything will be Alright, Continue with the work, End Result will be positive, Have faith on God and Yourself." We restart the work with greater potential and feel like flying with wings to quickly, accurately and perfectly complete the work. Someone else's brain/ mind will interfere suddenly, they will poke their nose into the matter unnecessarily, without any reason. This interference will result only in pain. Initially, my own brain/ mind disturbed me while I reached the 50% of the work. Secondly, other person's mind caused interference and again I lost the potential to complete the work. This is because I got deferred from my own action and self-belief. Pain/ sorrow due to my own mind or due to other's brain -who is the sufferer? "Me and my small heart has to bear all the pain...." The Human Soul says.  God says,"Remember, it's the last chance, Get up. Fill yourself with immense self-defence,  full & strong self-determination, faith & belief over self & God, free-minded about end result, full positive strength & energy." Get rid of all pain/ sorrow from your life; continue with the work without thinking about the end result. Accomplish the work with a Single thought in mind & heart -"I am performing & accomplishing only and only God's Task." End Result - No Pain in heart; No pain in mind; Positive Result.

5.  Pain/ Sorrow - plays an immense painful role in our lives. Pain takes away/ peels off all positivity, positive energy, self- belief, soul-confidence, God's confidence along with other divine virtues & powers from our own self.  Immense Pain makes a person virtue-less. When a person starts losing all his positivities, slowly he gets inclined towards negative habit. If the person or the Human Soul is not strong enough to defend oneself against the negative habits then gradually, the person will start filling himself/ herself with negative thoughts and in due course of time the negative thoughts will get transformed into negative actions. So, the ultimate role or goal of pain & sorrow is to mould the person from a strong, positive, righteous, moral one into an immoral & mentally weak and negative person.  How to get rid of such end result of pain/ sorrow? Under all circumstances, follow the Basic Seven Divine Virtues/ qualities of God & Human Souls - Be knowledgeful, Be Peaceful, be Pious, Be Loveful to God, Be Happy, Be Blissful and Be Powerful. To be Powerful, follow all Divine Eight Godly Powers in lives. Remember, Every Human Soul is Child of Almighty - so always Behave like Master Almighty Authority - the one who is always empowered with all divine virtues & divine powers of The Almighty Authority.   No pain or sorrow can ever harm or disturb you.

6.  There are basically two factors which cause the feeling of pain/ sorrow. (1.) The reaction towards any action; (2.) The process involved in constant thinking about the end result of the work.   (1.) Let's discuss about the first factor - reaction towards any action performed. Generally, when we perform any work- it forms the action of our work. The moment we react towards any work/ situation- it forms the reaction of the work. For instance, at homeplace, I am watching television, one of the elders come and switch off the television. Here, Action- I should get up from the television room noiselessly/ peacefully and get myself acquainted with my daily core work. Reaction- I turn on the television again and either shout at the elder person with a loud noise or keep murmuring inside with great annoyance at the elder person. This creates disrespect towards the elder person. Such reactions cause pain/ sorrow for both the speaker as well as the listener. Instantly, the elder person will feel the pain for getting disrespected by his near, dear & loved person. After some time, I, as the performer will repent upon the reaction - for disrespecting the elder person who in actual was bothered about my well being and better prospect. So, to avoid the situations which arise the feeling of pain, it's always advisory and practically possible to only and only Act; never React towards any known or unknown situation. (2.) Here, we take up the second pain causing factor - constant thinking about the end result of any work. Generally, when we take up any work, we are more overwhelmed about it's successful result rather than the process to start & work upon the procedure involved. This forms the beginning of the cause for pain in our lives. Day- night we dream about the end result. Before starting to perform the work in an organized manner,  before planning about the processes to be involved into, the end result as a fantasy fascinates us to a greater extent. Without knowing or thinking about the possible difficulties or hazels involved with the work, we love to think & re-think about the end result. But, in actual, when we start with the work, we face certain known difficulties accompanied with few life-taking, unknown & risky hazels which form almost impossible to be dealt with or get solved on timely basis. At such point of time, the beautiful dream, lovely fantasy about the end result is simply thrashed into pieces and in turn, our positive energy to continue and successfully complete the work gets transformed into full negative thoughts. At such points, get rid of thinking about the end result and focus yourself on the positive process of the work to be continued with. Use all energy to focus on the work and take the work to it's completion. Thinking about the end result - simply peels off the entire positive energy of the person and I will not be able to reach the destination of the truthful work i.e. reach the success of the work and complete the work positively. So, to avoid such pain causing situations - it's better to get rid of day- night dreams about the end result of any work. Better to concentrate on the processing of the work positively with complete surrendrance to the Almighty Authority.

7.  As discussed above, the two factors which cause the feeling of pain/ sorrow in our lives are - (1.) The reaction towards any action; (2.) The process involved in constant thinking about the end result of the work. Accordingly, the factors which can help in reducing the pain/ sorrow from our lives are- (1.) Firstly, Never React towards any action performed; (2.) Secondly, Do not waste or spend your energy in unnecessary constant thinking about the end result of any work already started or to be started with. Rather, invest your energy positively in the process involved towards initiating the work either from zero level or towards completion of the work which is already started. Conserve Positive Energy.  To elaborate: For instance, suddenly, someone blames me for a piece of incorrect work. Action- Peacefully, calmly protest and confirm that I have not done the incorrect work. Some people will believe while others will not believe and keep blaming. Do not react towards them who don't believe. Take time and gather evidence to prove yourself innocent and get yourself free from all unnecessary blames. Be determined and have self-respect for yourself with all Love for yourself and God. Reaction- The moment people start blaming me, I react towards their action; start shouting and screaming at such people; disrespect them; leave my tolerance level; continue exchanging heated words; conversation gets transformed into a heated argument; later even physical harassing takes place. All ends up in a mess with lot of physical & mental stress & tension - creating a complete negative atmosphere. So, to avoid the situations which arise the feeling of pain, it's always advisory and practically possible to only and only Act; never React towards any known or unknown situation. Another factor is to stop ourselves from unnecessary thinking about the end result of any piece of work. Instead of day- night dreams about the result of the work, it's better to invest energy in the preparation of the task. Before starting the work, plan about the task; think about the proper methodologies that can be applied to; make a proper team with good team leader who can lead and make the team/ task successful; make the ground work ready for the task to do; think about the maximum possibilities of  difficulties or problems that can arise in due course of performing the task; make the utmost possible arrangement of the solutions that can help in carrying on with the task in a hazel-free manner. These are the positive actions which we can take while starting with a new piece of work. These positive preparations will help us to make the task more fruitful and easier for achieving 100% of success. While the general act what we do - keep thinking about the result and sometimes even the negative part dominates our work - leads to negative output in the work. Thinking about the end result - simply peels off the entire positive energy of the person  and he/ she is not able to reach the destination of the truthful work. The destination should be as per God's demand or God's wish. 

8.  The only proper remedy to overcome the pain / sorrow is unconditional and complete surrendrance of myself to the Almighty Authority.
