Liberation, confusion, cognitive dissonance || Acharya Prashant (2019)

Question: Acharya Ji, if Liberation is the ultimate destiny, why don’t we get it naturally?

Acharya Prashant Ji: Liberation is Freedom, right? Liberation is Freedom. So you are free to not to be free. You are already Liberated.

It is because you are Liberated, that you can choose to remain not Liberated.

Good! You will get what you order. Everything is there on the menu. And the system respects your choice. The day you will choose Liberation, Liberation is yours. Till then , keep feasting on the various delicacies of life, and keep paying the bill. On that menu, everything is very highly chargeable, except for Liberation.

We often judge things by the price, don’t we? Suffering comes at a very high price.

Questioner 1: And it’s very valuable also.

Acharya Prashant Ji: Liberation is there for the taking. So who wants it?

Freedom Beyond Systems and Power

You look at Iran, at revolutions, and ask: can systems really bring freedom? Revolutions keep replacing one system with another, yet the chaos remains. The real question is rarely asked: what within us creates these systems? Real freedom is not political or social; it is inward. Without inner change, every revolution only rotates power, never resolves suffering.

14min941reads368

Often, in the name of financial pressure, what we are really kneeling down to is something else. But because that something else is not nice enough to be named, what we quote is financial pressure. Nothing is ever forced in a tangible way. The way is kept gentle in appearance. But there is something else at work inwardly. What is that thing? That is what you have to uncover. You have to be honest towards yourself, very honest.
