... at all times in this very world and in this very body

[Guest guest]

Some authorities declare that the cessation of worries or

anxieties constitues liberation. Bhagavan once commented on

this while he was explaining the true nature of liberation:

 

"What is meant by liberation? Do the heavenly worlds and

heavenly bliss exist somewhere else in the sky? Are they to be

experienced in some other world and some other body after

leaving this world and the body?

The Heart alone is the supreme world.

Tranquility, in the form of supreme silence, is alone the supreme

bliss or the happiness of liberation.

The cessation of all worries is the attainment of the supreme truth.

By the state of inner consciousness the great life of supreme

bliss can be attained at all times in this very world and in this

very body."
