What is Your Liberation Means

Humans are very complex. They always create their own definition in their life - sadness, happiness, love, success story, right or wrong, good - bad, satisfaction and dissatisfaction and every single things in this life. They create everything without knowing the consequences which leads them to the problem itself, the suffering.

It is true that finally when we can really go down dig, we will find out that the only problem is - ourselves, yourself! But unfortunately people don't try to identify the problem in the very root cause, rather we are always busy on complaining about others, complaining about our conditions and other things which actually was created by ourselves of our own mind. The whole life we ​​live by seeing the same sky but having so many repeating same problem, this problem, that problem, lots of problems. In other hands, we keep busy in pointing others and condition surrounds us as problems but still couldn't find the solution. Or maybe we just don't want to find it. We keep our problem for so long and holds them as part of our life. Sometimes we don't realize that the solution is very simple by just leaving the problem. But then in 'leaving' process sometimes people forget to 'letting go and moving on'. In leaving the problem actually you are just leave the problem behind by memorizing them in your mind but you are not finding the solution. In 'letting go' you leave the problem by closing it with the solution, you forgive everything related to the problem and get liberated from the problem itself and start to moving forward from the problem itself. Sounds easy, huh? Sounds very easy....

Since the beginning we breath the air when we was born, we've been imprinted by the thoughts that we are a small and weak human being with our limited capability, the sinner and everything related to us is the darkness sides. The things that we have heard year by year from people who doesn't really understand him/herself - the idea of the Self, the true  liberation. In our life we are dealing with people who designed themselves by power relation, such as parents, religion leaders or politician, by degree, like a teacher, thinker or we are influencing by the same old lessons, the social interpretation and constructions. We are shaping by the books which tends to glorify the tragedy, irony, life mystery and its destructive as main theme. It becomes something common and natural, something sexy in human life, where our physically, intellectually and mentally image formed. Nobody talk about the very nature of our self, the eternal one.

Once upon a time, there was a sage who share a lesson about the highest knowledge, the supreme which beyond our imagination in front of the public space. He talked about the infinite things that could save humans from their sufferings. He asked them to accept the teaching - but some people stood up and said that they didn't agree for some points from that the lesson. The sage told them that of course as a human being with our intellectual we will always have a choice; to accept them or not. After hearing what the sage told to them, they left. Then the sage continues that such lesson is not for them who are get irritated easily with some of unpopular idea, different issue beyond usual topic. But even our eyes are open, our heart might be not. Therefore people always lack of compassion. People like them are always come back again and again just to compare and find faults on others or claiming the righteousness. This kind of situation is not happened only in formal discussion but thoroughly during our life, we will find this kind of people. It doesn't mean that the teaching is only provide one idea but it is also allowing variation of infinite concept in religion thoughts. Then what's the point in seeing one specific different thoughts or pattern if we, then could really open ourselves in seeing the true meaning of our infinite. The only way to reach the liberation of all our problem and suffering is within us.

Finally, it is important for us to understand what freedom or liberation means. Freedom doesn't lays in every decision we have made nor the people that we think will be liberated us from our suffering. It is us, as it is us who made the problem then it is us who can liberated ourselves from the problem itself by finding the true nature in us, the infinite, the side of our divinity. This is not an easy path to walk with. As further wisdom and virtue needs to be implemented in our life. It also give a deep message for all of us to ensure that when you leave something behind, make sure you don't come back just for something negative, comparing which one is right and which one is not or which one is better. If you come back make sure you ready for some changes on you, only you and nothing else. Because human in form is still human, you have the side of divinity but in terms of everything it also can drag you into the side of animal instinct down deep. Then again you have to question yourself - are you really get liberated?
