A mind full of ideas and preconceived notions about god can never experience divinity. The mind limits itself to the confines of what it thinks it knows. And thus begins the endless cycle of creation, second hand creation of images and rituals and beliefs based on the content of the mind. And it is all this that constitutes the self. And we make it stronger and cling to this identity as if our existence depended on it. Do you see how ridiculous all this is?
Freedom is freedom from ideas and concepts. Freedom is to be able to breathe without thinking about how to do it. Freedom is to be able to laugh heartily when one feels like and to love generously without inhibition. Freedom is the reclamation of innocence.
Be free, of all things, of the suffering self, and live.
Love,
Sanjay.
