मुक्ताभिमानी मुक्तो हि बद्धो बद्धाभिमान्यपि ।
किंवदन्तीह सत्येयं या मतिः सा गतिर्भवेत् ॥
Now, what do we think in our minds? 'Oh, I shouldn't be behaving like this. I shouldn't be feeling like this. I am bound, I have to be liberated. Some day in the future I will be liberated'. When? Some day in future. If you encourage this thought of being bound, and being free some day in the future, forget about it! What are you bound with? Events and happenings. And some dreams. You are dreaming that you will meet the 'right' person in your life and then you will be happy. You meet the 'right' person in your life and then you become happier or unhappier, because that 'right' person thinks wrong about you. Or you didn't do something right, with the 'right' person, because you think you are 'wrong'. That 'right' person wants another 'right' person. Now you think you are a 'wrong' person! It doesn't take a long time to make the other person a 'wrong' person. Then you will see the 'right' person suddenly becomes the 'wrong' person. See that right now! You are free right now. You may die in no time; in five minutes. What is in your head? Or you may live for another hundred years. You may become so old, you are unable to see, hear or do anything. But you are still living, existing. You are living in your bed and don't even know what you are doing. People are taking care of everything; cleaning you and trying to feed you. Many people live like that. What is it? You are free. If you feel you are free, you are free. If you feel you are bound, you are bound. There is an old proverb, 'As you sow, so shall you reap'. किंवदन्तीह सत्येयं या मतिः सा गतिर्भवेत् । . Whatever thought you encourage about yourself, is the direction you move in. You move in that direction. The seed is inside. The source of action is thought. And the source of thought is your Self. So when you come out in action, look into the thought before that. If you think you are bound, or small, another worm or creature in the world, you remain so, but if you see yourself as part of the Divinity.
