[Vishnu]

Life is a continuous struggle to express our innermost self. The circumstances are creations of our mind to express this innermost self. But when the circumstances create hindrances to this process, the self rebels automatically. The self awakens for a moment and dictates the way to freedom. But we remain stubborn. We tell lies to ourselves to remain in the situation, though we suffocate enormously. We betray ourselves again and again with a smile saying we are fine. But we are not.

Life is a series of awakening calls that demand departure. If we are stubborn, the situations will keep repeating itself again and again until we quit. But what stops us from quitting now? It is the feeling of insecurity. We are afraid of losing everything we created. This is a big mistaken notion. In fact, we neither create nor we lose anything. Things exist only in the mind.

When we quit, the situations and circumstances stands realigned and aids the process of expression. So the fear of losing something is a false notion.

When we quit, there comes freedom. But with the freedom comes struggles, hardships and privations. They test our ability to stand in the transcendental self. If we persist, we remain for eternity. The freedom we obtain will be eternal. We live beyond our lifetime. When we rebel, we create history.
