People think freedom means the liberty to move around at will. This is not freedom. True freedom is exercised only when you become free from the whims of your mind, so as to be able to choose your response at any point of time. This is freedom of choice of response. Where exactly can one find such freedom? Where is this space of freedom for choosing the right response? This is the interval of freedom for the choice of response. 

One gets to know this interval of freedom for the choice of response with regular practice of meditation and that is the biggest benefit of meditation. You need to be seasoned in meditation to understand the interval of freedom for the choice of response. With meditation you get control over your mind and one becomes free from the tendencies of the body which otherwise create hindrance in attaining freedom.

ስለደራሲው

Sirshree’s spiritual quest, which began right from his childhood, led him on a journey through various schools of thought and meditation practices. The overpowering desire to attain the truth made him relinquish his teaching job. After a long period of contemplation, his spiritual quest ended with the attainment of the ultimate truth. Sirshree says, "All paths that lead to the truth begin differently, but end in the same way—with understanding. Understanding is the whole thing. Listening to this understanding is enough to attain the truth."

This understanding begins with the mantra of acceptance. The mantra of acceptance is: "Can I accept this?" symbolized by the mudra (gesture) portrayed above. Sirshree espouses that the understanding of truth is beyond personalities. Seekers of truth need to go beyond personality worship and embrace the formless truth. Hence, instead of using photographs, the symbol of acceptance is used to represent Sirshree.

To disseminate the understanding of truth, Sirshree devised Tejgyan—a unique system for wisdom—that helps one to progress from self-help to self-realization. He has delivered more than 1500 discourses and written over 60 books. His books have been translated in more than ten languages and published by leading publishers such as Penguin Books, Hay House Publishers, Jaico Books, etc. Sirshree’s retreats have transformed the lives of thousands of people and his teachings have inspired various social initiatives for raising global consciousness.
