How can one earn freedom in life and be liberated? Bhagawan explains to us today, so that we may march towards freedom, living peacefully and joyfully!

When a prisoner is taken from place to place, he’s accompanied by two constables, isn’t it? When man, who is a prisoner in this jail, moves from one place to another, he too is accompanied by egoism and attachment (ahamkaram and mamakaram). When you move about without these two, you can be sure that you are free, liberated from prison. Now that I have referred to jail and jail life, let Me tell you more! You are all under sentence of imprisonment in this jail. There’s no use hoping for reward when you work in jail; you work because you are ordered to, and you must work well too. You can’t argue that rewards are not distributed justly and you are not entitled to desist from allotted tasks! If you do so, your sentence will be extended or you will be transferred to another jail. On the other hand, if you quietly accept the sentence and go about your work without clamouring or murmuring, your term is reduced, and you are sent out with a certificate that ensures a happy life, unpestered!

- Divine Discourse, Feb 20, 1964.
