Comfortable Prison

[Guest guest]

"There was once a very wise and gently king who learned that there were a

number

of innocent persons in this state prison. So he decreed that another, more

comfortable prison be constructed for the innocent." Anthony de Mello, S.J.

 

We need to be careful we don't do the same mistake in our Sadhana. Instead

of freeing the innocent prisoners, the king ordered more comfortable prisons

for them. Similarly, instead of living in real freedom (freedom from the

body-mind-intellect and its resultant desires and aversions) is our Sadhana

merely building a more attractive prison for us?

Namaste,

 

this "prison" has existance in a mind only....an ego-mind....

 

but when the walls are falling by the Sadhana....

when the seperation to "others" disappear....

 

there is also prison disappearing...

 

how to break the walls?....

 

maybe best is to find out "who" built them....and who is responsible

for the walls....

 

when one find out "who" built them....it's easier to let them

disappear....

by the same instrument of mind we got....to build them

 

Regards

 

love and peace
