Just wanted to extend on what was written on the Freedom post...
When we apply the knowledge to the material world, we land into confusion, misery and trouble because either we think that why others are not applying the knowledge in a particular situation or blame the technique... The technique is not working for me... Its worked for others but me... There is another tendency which has been noticed that over a period of time we accept people and situations as they are... Keep accepting but at one point we a re fed up of people taking us for granted... Isn't that happened with you??? Now wake up and see... Are you Really Accepting People and Situations AS THEY ARE or just tolerating???
It is not possible for us to live the knowledge to its fullest due to lots of factors... You can live the knowledge in the material world also but if you are not bothered about whether people are taking you for granted or taking advantage of you... When there is REAL acceptance there is no confusion, no misery... So Are we living the knowledge really or just trying to use it as a shield... Knowledge can be used according to the seeker the way he/she feels... either as a shield or as an Umbrella... the difference between both to understand i leave it upto you...
If there is sincere and intense longing for freedom... Wisdom automatically dawns... How to use the knowledge in situations and how to save your own mind... So to develop this intense longing for freedom "Pray" ... and trust me it comes... The divine has to respond to the sincere prayers...
In one of the books by Guruji... He says," Do not Pray from the Heart as the Divine will not respond... the Divine is called as deen bandhu He belongs to the weak... for our prayers to be strong we have to transcend beyond the naval and get into the 2nd chakra... Prayers done from utter helplessness are answered immediately... Try it and see
Jai Gurudev

aahh..I feel in a situation awareness works, being aware of the reality, the ultimate truth , and knowing that its all going to change, and it is fine now, being aware that there are things much bigger and that it is all a part of a bigger picture.
but then there are times when knowledge doesn't work, when yo know it all and still it hurts and pains, there comes surrender. As they say even Draupati had to surrender it all completely to Krishna for him to come and rescue her. He comes when there is complete surrender, and he takes all the responsibility for everything and anything.
that is the Krishna..he has no choice :D
Surrender is something totally different from freedom... When you know that there is no way out then you surrender... but even in that state there is an intense longing of freedom isn't it??? that s y the surrender happens... all are only words actually... But on a level of understanding freedom, longing, surrender are connected...
Thats my point of view...
