Absolute freedom

12.01.05

When there is only one being in the world no laws are required to restrict or guide that person as he can live or perish off his own genius, without anyone else being any the more or less for it. But creation is not of a single entity. Therefore absolute freedom is not possible, only relative freedom, relative to the freedom of the other, is. The creator is therefore not free so long as creation exists. God the creator cannot be absolute. Only Brahman, the non-creator and non-created can be absolute. Therefore when creation begins, in order to regulate the freedom of all within limits, the law of such regulation comes into effect. Such law is called Dharma and dharma harmonizes and dharma is harmony. And yet does not all crave for the state of absolute freedom? Attaining the state of Brahman and thereby attaining moksha, the state of no-birth or non-creation. How do we, from the gross state of creation, pass into the state of Brahman? Is a foretaste of that state possible from the present position? Yes, and the passageway is through the medium of language, mantra and silence. Thereby we can say that the freedom that we crave is only in the mind. In real world, there is no absolute freedom but a regulated one.
