Liberty to Liberation
By Pamarty Venkataramana
Liberty begins from within one’s own self. This is the in-born freedom of life. No man is an island but every man is both the universe as well as the component of the whole universe .
As the self grows, so does the concept of the liberty of man . Endless, ceaseless and limitless, liberty has imposed its own restrictions of governance . ‘ Domain of Self ’ brings out this truth of life on earth .
Expansion and growth are constant but continuously monitored by liberty . It does not mean unchecked and unrestricted freedom of thought or action but controlled evolution of thought and action by mankind .
Bodily limitations or curbed pleasures do not lessen the joys of life or their enjoyment by man . Introspection involves deep thought and investigation entails reflection. In the process, constructive growth gets ingrained into the societal systems through the acts of each individual.
To live and let live ; to lead a solitary existence of solitude amidst all the din and cacophony of an existential life ultimately becomes the clarion-call of all efforts at attaining the state of liberty.
Even as the world outside the self is shut out , the vistas within one’s self open up : the universe of a person thus begins within the individual and expands to the world outside the spheres of his body , mind and self.
Liberty is thus a soul-searching exercise .Once the soul is liberated, a free mind extends its sense of justice , freedom and equality to all which is indefinable beyond the realm of the self and the society.
The blood of man may help procreate the numbers of the race but it is the pace at which the spirit of mankind attains knowledge of the super-natural which makes life both a mystery and a marvel . Internal blooming of life enables external growth of all other life-forms .
Liberty is therefore one self looking out of the closets of body and mind on to the limitless possibilities to reduce the gap of life between man and man ,generation after generation ,civilization through civilization. This is the manner and extent to which self expands from oneself to a higher self .
Physical needs become derisive wants ; objectives replace desires – in short, man becomes Mankind. Liberty is all-inclusive and includes the freedom to be left alone .Liberty is limitless in both thought and action.
