THE STATE OF FREEDOM

A desire arises in the mind. It is gratified and another desire arises. In the interval between the two desires there is perfect stillness of mind.
When the mind is fully concentrated on Brahman, it becomes one with Brahman, like camphor that becomes one with the flame, like salt that becomes one with water, like water that becomes one with milk. The mind melts in Brahman. It becomes of the nature of Brahman. This is the state of Kaivalya or freedom. Therefore, know Brahman and be free.
