LIBERATION FROM WORK

LIBERATION FROM WORK

There is an inscription in Jeevashram, Oneness Ashram, Satyaloka, Chitoor District. A.P., India, that has Sri Bhagavan's Mahavakyas on LIberation. In this inscription, Sri Bhagavan mentions about Liberation from Work. In another of His Mahavakyas, Sri Bhagavan says, "In the Golden Age, there will be no work".

What Sri Bhagavan means by the above lines, truly do not know. But I have been experiencing a state that makes the above lines of Bhagavan very much true.

Almost from the time Sri Bhagavan entered my heart as my Antaryamin God, every day when I wake up, there is the great Presence of Sri Bhagavan in my heart and I wake up happily means happily! Actually, it is the Presence of Bhagavan that wakes me up. Many times, Bhagavan wakes me up by talking to me like a loving father who has to wake up his daughter but He Himself does not have a heart to do so; and I make a fuss to get up like a child. I try to sleep back naughtily or laze on the bed in His great presence for some more time, unwilling to get up. How beautiful it is to be like that! Every day seems so beautiful. And more importantly I get up with a feeling that I HAVE NOTHING TO DO that day! This feeling is similar to another feeling I have experienced sometimes in my school/college days. After all the exams are over, when I get up on the first day of my long holidays, this is how I will feel - so happy, so peaceful - and with a feeling of 'I have NOTHING TO DO whatsoever!

Daily I get up like that, like a child who does not have anything to do; like a child who has no responsibility; like a child who is carefree, secured; like a child who has nothing to worry; like a child who is born ONLY to enjoy; like a child, who does not have anything to do but to enjoy; like a child who has everything being done for her; like a princess! Most of the mornings I get up like that only.

Yet, I do all the household chores. I am a fairly good house-keeper too. I take care of my big family, my mother, mother in law, my father in law (till sometime back), 2 children, husband, friends, etc. I do some Seva for Bhagavan too. In between I have been doing some jobs too.

While I see people, struggling to keep up their work and running for time and becoming stressful and hectic and losing energy in a hundred worries and having a lifeless life, here I am with my Bhagavan and Amma, happily sitting in their lap and enjoying this world as it is, as though I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!

I keep up timings like everybody, but with a feeling that I have all the time in the world! I do everything I am supposed to do without the pressure of doing them!

Similarly, when I shop, I do all the shopping happily as though I have all the money in the world to buy everything! Yet I buy only a few things!

What is this? This is as though all work is just happening! All responsibilities are just happening! All roles are just happening! There is no pressure of/on the mind to do or not to do something. Is this what Bhagavan meant when He is said, "In the Golden Age, there will be no work" and "Everything will happen automatically"?

I do not know. I can only describe the experiences. I cannot define them. This has been my state many days, in the last so many years. Yes, I have gone out of this state, sometimes, when I have got disturbed. But Bhagavan, with His extreme love and bond with me, always brings me back to the above free state very soon, especially by His Great Presence.

LIfe is so beautiful; my house is so beautiful; my amma bhagavan are so beautiful; the world is so beautiful; my family is so beautiful; i have all the freedom from my family members to be like this; because they are also like this, I think.

Yes, as people say, I am the most blessed one! I do not know what I have done to get this nor do I know what I am going to do in return, to have got this - other than to write and talk and share like this!

Warm Regards,

"The Awakened One experiences freedom from one's own ideas. The unawakened one is caught up in one's own ideas." - Sri Bhagavan
