samsara - sanyasa

Thoughts. Our world is made up of thoughts and we live in it. We 'think' about the world instead of directly living in it. You may call it perception. Even 'knowing'/'knowledge' means the expressions of thought for us. That which can be memorized and recollected as thought. But reality is Here Now. Not in memory..not in thoughts...

It makes a huge difference to see inequality of Reality with a capital 'R' and reality as perceived through expressions of the mind. As language is inevitable (atleast in current stage of human evolution) to communicate with others its very difficult to convey what I mean.

As some one said, if the world is in us its 'samsara', if we are in the world then it is sanyasa. Samsara means bondage. Conditioning of our mind with countless ramblings abouts past and future is samsara. It is a big burden which does not allow us to 'stop and smell the roses'.

Living in the eternal 'present' with unconditioned mind is true freedom. True liberation.
