Dear friend,
Om shanti. Now is the time for us to experience freedom, but you may
find that some kind of bondage is limiting your freedom. We experience
being in bondage when we have desire. We may see it as our
responsibility to give happiness through those relationships. However,
there is the experience that no matter how much you try to make others
happy, they are not satisfied. Bondage arises when we are trying to
make others happy and they respond with sorrow. If there is some
bondage, I will feel sorrow when I try to disengage. These are
relationships based on the body. When one of you leaves, there is
sorrow and tears. What we want is to be able to stabilize the self and
not take sorrow.
Have the deep realization that “I want to be free from any bondage in
the world.” Dadi has received liberation from the Divine, from all that
is negative, and liberation in life – the experience of peace, love and
joy while in this body. Have no more bondage to customs, systems, or
people.
The deeper you go within to look at yourself, the more you’ll be able to
understand. Sometimes those bondages don’t allow you to go deeper. Keep
the faith that you are making this connection with the Divine, from whom
you are claiming all powers, and you will experience true freedom.
With love,
BK Janki
