According to Vedanta that feeling of being dependent on that which is around you, the feeling that you are bound and, therefore, you have to get out of it is still part of the great illusion of the mind called the Maya.

Not that things don’t exist but they don’t exist in the form or the state in which we think they exist. That wrong understanding of objects, of anything, is called Maya, a misunderstanding and that is the great illusion.

A person who has touched that freedom, a person who has understood this freedom, this moksha or mukti, this completeness, lives an unprejudiced life of total freedom not influenced by the stereotyped images that one encounters in day to day life.

Self-realization to me, Kaivalya or Moksha to me, means not free from something, but realizing that one is always free but has been laboring under the illusion that one is not. Yes, this is the same as ultimate freedom. The freedom from which one never falls back to non-freedom or bondage.

‘Does this freedom happen in stages?’ I would say, ‘It’s like the wheel; the network of illusion is gradually lifted as one goes deeper and deeper into understanding one’s own self, one’s own mind.’
