“Self-Realization is Freedom”
We need to detach from our body in order to know enlightenment. Thus we rid ourselves of negative karma and merge into the light of unconditional love forever.
We come to this plane over and over again through many lifetimes. It takes eons of learning and understanding to break free from negative karma. Thus we finally understand that if we love being in this body and love being attached to our lives in this world… we will never really attain freedom and enlightenment.
Freedom is Detachment
Our emotions are the key to all of this, our emotions tend to be in control now and in past lives. Most people live every moment in tortuous emotions that keep them bound to the body. And they keep loving all the pleasure of the world… and because of that, they keep coming back again and again. As long as we connect to our senses and see everything through our 5 senses then it’s impossible to find self-realization.
True Love and Joy are Beyond the 5 Senses
Yes, it is true, true love and boundless joy are found beyond the 5 senses. We are to nullify our ongoing love affair with desires and all the goodies that we love in this life. One day, we might be full of life and excited about what happened. And the next day we are down in the dumps and sad about what did happen today or what might happen tomorrow. Always up… and always down… that is the cycle of living in the world of negative karma.
Let Forgiveness, Compassion, Kindness, and Contentment Fill the Void
It’s important to let go of all those emotional desires and sensory pleasures. And replace all of them with forgiveness for yourself, for everyone else, forgiveness for the past, and forgiveness for what might happen in the future. This is a very freeing experience that few attain.
Also, to have great compassion even in the heat of emotion, thus allowing our emotion to subside… thus we can love those who are the hardest to love. And because of that have loving-kindness and compassion for everyone. That’s not easy, and that is why very few people in this lifetime attain self-realization. But it can be done and eventually everyone makes it to the light.
Plus to be totally content with what we have now and what we have going on… and at the same time helping those who are suffering. That is why many enlightened beings come back to this plane… they don’t have too at all. But they are on a mission to help those who are suffering and to help all of us… open our hearts to self-realization and enlightenment.
Are You Ready to Let go of the Dream?
Is it possible for you to let go of the dream… and have total surrender?
Enlightenment is your destiny and you will eventually attain enlightenment no matter what in this lifetime or another. You are like a moth drawn to that ete
al light… you are drawn to unconditional love.
Is it Your Time?
Many Blessings to Everyone!

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
