Gem's from Bhagavan: Self-Realization

[Guest guest]

Mukti or Liberation is our Nature. It is another name for us. Our wanting

mukti is a very funny thing. It is like a man who is in the shade

voluntarily leaving the shade, going into the sun, feeling the severity of

the heat, making great efforts to get back into the shade, and then

rejoicing 'At last I have reached the shade, how sweet is the shade!' We

are doing exactly the same. We are not different from the Reality. We

imagine we are different, i.e., we create bheda bhava (the feeling of

difference) and then undergo great sadhana to rid of the bheda bhava and

realize the oneness. Why imagine or create the bheda bhava and then destroy

it?
