Boundlessness

We all know how to earn a livelihood

But do we know how to live a life


We identify ourselves with all those things which we have created for ourselves since childhood. And the most important amongst all those that identifies all of us is our education. We get educated to be aware of ourselves and our surroundings. And with this awareness we get more

choices to explore different dimensions of life. Which makes us feel flying like a free bird. But are we really flying like a free bird, or have we restricted ourselves to the things with which we have started identifying ourselves? So, is education helping us to get free or are we getting stuck in our own net just like a spider?


A spider knows how to frame a net for himself because he is being taught that. But does he know what to do further? Likewise, we all are being taught how to be a part of this society by getting educated and earning money. But what to do after livelihood is earned, how to live life is what is missing in today’s education. That goes out of our comfort zone. Getting a job and work and earn money, owing a business and how to run it is what we are being taught by this education and this becomes our comfort zone.


Birds give birth to babies and make them learn to fly after which they are free to fly on their own. Where sky is the limit for them. This is nature. While we humans give birth to our children, make them learn and get educated their whole life and expect them to be with us till we die. Parents compare themselves with a big tree stem from which all the stems shoot but did they

ever realize that the biggest bark can never take shelter under its own stem. Why they start feeling helpless and small in front of their own stems. Because we are not being taught what to do after getting retired, how to still live on your own. That becomes out of our comfort zone.


We are being taught the old age as the helpless stage. What if we come to know that it is the limitless stage of life. Where you have given everything, you had, you have lived everything you wished for and you are heading towards the limitless power, imagine how beautiful this age

would be?


At every stage we are being taught to bind, except childhood. The moment we are heading towards adulthood we are being told to bind ourselves to one subject in education to move ahead in life. After studies we are being told to bind ourselves to one organization and do job. After earning money, we are binding ourselves to one partner to move ahead in life. After getting old we are binding ourselves to the children as old age is helpless. Nobody is teaching us to be boundless and limitless.


But in this whole process we are denying the whole concept of our own evolution. Human body evolves to be limitless because the soul inside the body is limitless. We do job all our lives and bound ourselves to one area. At times we get frustrated also but keep on doing it. If we are not

accepting our own evolution and chose to be bound, we always remain in a state of denial. The only nature of Nature is to feel free to be limitless and we are all part of it, we are Nature.


As rightfully said by PM Modi ji, today’s education is just to produce servant class. Either we are becoming the servants of some other minds who know how to use us, or we are becoming the servants of our own mind. What if, instead of your mind controls you, you start controlling your own mind and be the director of your own life movie?


If we focus to fly like a free bird, to be boundless, limitless, to be the epitome of awareness, yes, we will be there. But are we choosing it seriously or are we happy in our own limitations? The question is, has the spider realized that he is stuck in his own net, or has he started feeling safe and comfortable in the net he made for himself. Or he has been taught till this level of how to

build his net. After that he doesn’t know what he has to do with life.


Be limitless to choose in your life, be limitless in choosing to live


Awareness is a gift, and even after being aware what we really want, if we choose to stay where we are, we are choosing denial. Choice is something we practice every moment of our life.


Choose wisely, choose to evolve.


**The Limitless Mind of a Child**

“Panchi bani udti firun mast gagan mein aaj main azaad hun duniya ke chaman mein”


As children, the world is our oyster. We explore, dream, and imagine without constraints. School choices seem limitless, and the world brims with possibilities. It's a time when we embody the

essence of limitless potential.


As we grow up, we're confronted with choices, competition, and the harsh realities of limited opportunities. College seats are limited, and we must navigate the constraints of our circumstances. Post-graduation options dwindle, and the job market appears limited, ushering in a shift from limitlessness to confinement.


Sadhguru once remarked, "A limitless soul in a limited body always remains in conflict." The journey to self-awareness becomes a path to rediscovering the limitless self. It's here that we encounter the essence of the phrase, "Har nar me Narayan hai"– the divine exists in every being, and we can find our true calling by understanding ourselves deeply.


The fear of failure often confines us. By adopting a fearless mindset, we open ourselves up to boundless possibilities. The mantra "Tu nahi toh aur sahi, aur nahi toh koi aur sahi"(If not this, then something else; if not here, then elsewhere) reminds us that there is always another path to explore.


This is beautifully depicted in the movie "3 Idiots" when Sharman Joshi's character decides to embrace a limitless mindset in a job interview. His willingness to think beyond limitations leads to an unexpected outcome.


The journey from childhood to adulthood may seem like a transition from limitlessness to confinement, but it doesn't have to be that way. Through self-awareness, a fearless mindset, and a commitment to seeing opportunities everywhere, we can bridge the gap between our limited bodies and our limitless souls. Embracing limitlessness is not about escaping constraints but about transcending them, allowing us to experience the freedom and fulfillment we desire in every aspect of our lives. So, go ahead, explore the limitless possibilities that await you, for as Krishna said, "The whole universe is your Akhara."
