Every creature wants happi8ness. What type of happiness?The happiness which remains unaltered and does not perish. Every creature wants such type of imperishable and boundless happiness. This is called emancipation. Utter absence of sorrows and attainment of joy is emancipation. The twenty second couplet of the Sixth chapter of the Gita is very useful. It is the criterion to judge oneself. There for it is no exaggeration if this couplet is given the top priority.Having acurire that profit (summit of happiness)he(the reviver)does not consider any other profit as grater and having become steady in which, no pain, however big, can move him, Even if his body is broken into small pieces, it comes in between the two mountains, there is never any lack of peace and bliss,In that profit there is disunion from the contact of pain.The so called"Mukti"(emancipation)from pain, actions,life and death is very straightforward and easy.In the sacred books it has been described as difficult and also easy. In the Gita is has been declared that the Supreme essence can be attained very easily. That is imperishable and does not perish after being attained. Is there anything, as easy as this?The world viz.the body, the family,the wealth and the property which seem yours were neither in your possession in the past nor will remain in future, Therefore don't accept them as yours. In the Gita the characteristics of the man free from the bondage transcending the tree constituents are described.
for the man who is ever established in the self, pain and happiness are the same , he has become 'Swastika'(steady);for him earth, stone and gold are quite the same;for him the pleasant and the unpleasant,praise and calumny are just the same. For him honor and ignominy are alike, he is alike to the cause of a friend as well as to that of an enemy and he has renounced the sense of doer-ship, he is said to have transcended the three Gunas(constituents).
For him pain and happiness are the same. In his inner sense he is the same in profit and loss,praise and calumny because he is established in his own self. The gain and the loss of the wealth, the property, the family, which he does not regard as his own, does not affect him,The birth and death of millions of people of the world don't have any effect on us.We merely hear that so many people have died at a particular place and we only exclaim"Ram!Rahim! Yisu ! Masiha! Allaha" etc.But is does not hurt our heart. Similarly if an unknown person becomes rich, we don't feel happy. We have even mindedness in their joy and sorrow, profit and loss. Thus we are free from most of the wealth,property and families.We are attached to a little wealth, a little property and a few men. Thus we have achieved the lion's share of emancipation, only a little remains to be achieved ...................
