#Chapter- 4.The Fourfold Aim of Existence and How to Achieve It-3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.

Four are the aims of existence: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. Actually, moksha is not one item among four items; it is that which surpasses and stands above the other three. It is a logical superiority which is over and above the other empirical needs or relative requirements which are physical, emotional and ethical. On what basis and in what manner are we to conceive this foundational concept of moksha? What is it, actually? What do you mean by moksha, which is inclusive of all the other values of life? You cannot have a hundred percent freedom in this world because your freedom is restricted by the freedom necessitated by the existence of other people in the world. If two people are living together, the freedom that they need should be shared by both of them in the required proportion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.

But there is such a thing called absolute freedom. The relativity of the freedom that you can expect in this world is only an indication that there should be something called absolute freedom. In this world it is not possible to have absolute freedom because there is a world outside you which conditions you, and there are people outside which limit you. What then is the Absolute, because things in the world are relative?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3.

A state of being in which there would be nothing outside which can restrain you, that alone can be regarded as the Absolute. If there is nobody except you, if you are the only existence, then you can exercise your freedom entirely. You will be one hundred percent free. In this creation you are not alone. There is a multifarious variety in this world of creation; therefore, relativity rules the freedom that we can expect in this world. But we want absolute freedom. Absolute freedom is possible only when there is nothing external to you. Here we enter into the field of philosophy and metaphysical studies, as they are usually called.

 ====================================================================== ================================================================ 1.#OPINION : Saturday, December 25, 2021. 7:00.AM. 2580. #Chapter 6: Quandaries in the Ramayana and Mahabharata -3. ================================================================= In spiritual practice we move from effect to cause, and not from cause to effect. Lesser involvements are to be taken into consideration first and they have to be handled effectively before the larger involvements are taken care of. It is something like knots in a rope tied up one over the other, wherein the outer knot is attempted to be untied first and the inner knots are removed afterwards because they are at the root and they are the support. In a similar manner in the treatment of illnesses, for instance, we take into consideration the acute form of a disease first and the chronic form afterwards. Likewise is the spiritual encounter in the world. The Ravana-Kumbhakarn
