Freedom

=========

When you are aware that you are Consciousness, then you are everywhere and you're everything. 

When you realize you're everything, you become master of all. When you become master of all, you can do anything you like. 

Now what I  just said does not give you license to go and do anything you like, and make a fool out of yourself or hurt other people. 

Remember how this goes. When you awaken to the fact that you're Absolute Reality, that you are Pure Awareness, that 

you are Consciousness, then you become everything. When you are aware that you're everything, you become master of  all. Then when you are master of all, you may do anything you please. 

First you have to awaken to yourself. You have to  understand your true nature, your swarupa. You have to realize who you are. When you understand that you are 

Consciousness, then you understand that you are everything. For Consciousness is not limited to yourself, your personal 

self. Consciousness is All-Pervading, Omnipresence. Therefore you know you're everything. You are the planets, you are 

the trees, the leaves, the bedbugs, the cockroaches, you're everything. The whole universe is you. When the whole universe is you, of course you are master of all. And then you can do anything you like.

But the paradox is, when you become that state, there is nothing you need to do. There's absolutely nothing you want 

to do, for you are all things. When you realize you're all things, what is there to do? It is only when you are limited to 

your body, or when you believe you are the body itself, then you want to do things, you want to achieve things, become things. When you realize you're Consciousness All-Pervading, you're already those things. You're everything in the universe. You are the universe. The whole universe emanates out of your Self. You then become God, and all the gods and goddesses will come to you with folded hands. For you have become That. 

So remember, I'm not giving you a license 

to do things as a human being. As a human being you have to behave yourself, be compassionate, loving, kind, helpful to others. But as Consciousness you have become others. You have become the epitome of compassion, of loving kindness, of bliss.

Consequently there's nothing to do. Do you follow that train of thought? If you're everything, what is there to do? 

Everything is already being done and has been done. 

So you keep still.
