SUMMARY - CHAPTER 8
Liberation from Misery and Sorrow
- Most people don't even realize that we human beings, are prisoners who suffer caged in misery and sorrow.
- As long as we live in this body-mind-ego complex, the body suffers physical pain, the mind experiences all kinds of emotional pain and the ego experiences the agony when it is hurt.
- For one to be liberated, one has to realize the truth that Liberation has to be achieved during one's life on earth. We cannot be liberated after we die although, the final reward of life will come after death.
- A true seeker who realizes the Truth transcends ego, mind and body and realizes that he is the Soul that must escape and transcend the Law of Karma.
- The secret of the Ultimate Goal is persistence. First, the seeker eliminates all untenable concepts. Then the seeker realizes that tenable concepts like Moksha,
- Enlightenment and Nirvana are no different from each other.
- Realization opens the door towards the Ultimate Goal of Life – Liberation. However, realization doesn't guarantee Liberation. For this we need to live a spiritual life from A to Z.
