I Never Get Freed AdiSankaracharya Nirvana Shatakam

Bondage, be it at the Transient or the Transcendental Level, needs two entities.

One never gets Bonded or bonded to when only he Is Present.

In Indian Philosophy even yearning for Realization causes Bondage!

The fruit that accrues of it is the eternal desire to be Free,

So to be a fully Liberated Soul, one is not to yearn for Realization , it as a Goal.

The goal is to be that of simply knowing One's True Nature and not anything else.

This is true Moksha or Nirvana.

Unlike Buddhism the Nirvana is not Nihilistic,One Becomes a part of the Whole .

The Part can not rejoice having become one for it has been the Whole all the while and the impression of being a Part is a temporary Illusive Phenomena,necessitated by Ignorance, impelled by Karma Vaasana,Remnants of the results of actions performed .physically and mentally.

Upon this Realization , verily there is No need for Freedom nor is there One really.
