Freedom of Choice
by Atman Nityananda
Freedom is the ability to choose between good and bad—and to choose good. Choosing evil is not freedom at all but slavery.
Good can be considered anything that:
- benefits physical and mental health,
- diminishes the ego,
- promotes personal and collective well-being,
- creates emotional and mental harmony,
- brings happiness and both individual and collective peace,
- fosters unity with everything,
- leads to awakening and realization of Truth.
Bad can be considered anything that:
leads to forgetfulness of our true essence.
causes physical and mental illness,
creates emotional and mental imbalance and disharmony,
inflates the ego,
leads to poverty,
brings misery and suffering
harms others materially, physically, or mentally,
causes division, separations, conflicts, and violence,
distances us from truth and our true nature,
My Book in English
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
