Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Swarajya is freedom from the pulls and pushes of the senses. That is absolute self control. Outwardly we take it as 'self rule' which denotes 'national'. But if you become real ruler of the self, then it can be termed as real 'Swarajya'. Senses should never be allowed to rein their rule. Senses should be subservient to the Buddhi and none else. The mind should take it orders from the intellect instead of the senses. The seat of the Heart should be reserved only to the Supreme God and not to demons like ego and greed. Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa should be the pathway we should choose to tread towards Divinity. This is the Dharmic path. You should develop 'humility' and sacrifice. Shri Krishna has extoled 'Aparigraha' as an important virtue. You should not covet for any things from any body. Shirdi Baba used to say 'Whatever man gives do not last but what god gives are everlasting. Hence develop a desireless state and if at all you desire, it should be liberation and nothing else.
