Freedom at Midnight

Originally a post-comment for one of Gop's blogs at abt the end of April... But there is just too much of truth in it... So a separate entry for it all... For Gop's post, click the link Gopal Aravind in the side panel under 'Links'.....

"At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time."
---Nietzsche....

To put it straight, I feel that it has become a matter of subjectivity now... I don't understand the term 'everything'.. Cud u explain!!.. It means a fixed set of wants.. but the set goes on varying from person to person.. so ultimately it adds upto wanting a fixed set of objects and definitely not an overwhelming "EVERYTHING"...

It is true that we end up not giving to ourselves what we desire ...that we continue fighting the battle of 'odds' v. the 'wants'.. but does that mean that we do nit want to get free at all!! Dunn think so..!! The picture of self-realisation is according to me the one of utmost precision save the fact that man is alone up there.. to me if a person has realised the self then it is beyond the body.. It becomes a true amalgamation between the self and the 'all'.. there is no void at that point of time and place.. and it is all engulfed in one oneness that is so dear to us..

""The most successful men are those who are unafraid of giving themselves up to the brightest light. They know that their purpose is what is supreme. They work towards their goal. Life comes only once."" -- I second and if I had two votes wud have thirded as well.. it is the zest to achieve the chhoti si asha that makes us "all".

Shall not make a comment regrading the tools that are usually identified… They lie different to all individuals at different stages of perception and reality and hence individualistic...
But if education comes to the picture.. (taking a comprehensive definition of the word).. it definitly is one and the most primary.. as it is much much much beyond the institutions and formality.. it is life an experience in itself personified.... and hence yeah, it is true that in each of us there is a spark of enlightenment and a not so boring Plato hidden..

"Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way of the best happiness."... U kno by whom this is...
