6.30 Temporary Versus Permanent Freedom

The freedom attained through yoga, action or worship is like parole from jail. The freedom of Saankhya is like this : "He is the thief, not me". The freedom of Vedanta is our natural identity, the only desirable thing is the removal of all kinds of bondage that have been imagined through misunderstanding and ignorance. That self which is attained through removal of ignorance is called brahman, that is liberation. When you will realize your self as non-dual, you will attain liberation. There is not other direct means of liberation prior to that. All else is tradition-method.
