MuktiA Poem by AiR - Atman in RaviMukti is Freedom, we must be free We must not be bound to the ground like a tree We must not be slaves to the Mind and Ego, ME The goal of life is Mukti, to be free Most of us are slaves, we follow the herd We don’t open our wings and fly like a bird Although we human beings are blessed with wings We crawl on the earth, tied with many strings Therefore, we suffer the triple suffering on earth And then we die and return in a rebirth We suffer the pain of the body, ego, and mind True happiness and peace, we struggle to find We are prisoners of the Mind and Ego, ME Our thoughts make us puppets,they don’t let us be free Although we have an intellect to tell us what is wrong We let the mind destroy us with thoughts so strong Our senses make us slaves of vengefulness and greed We are prisoners of anger and jealousy, indeed Puppets we are, of lust and shame We live in a cage, through the life game Passions and obsessions rule our life They make us prisoners and we live with strife Instead of being free, and living with a smile We are slaves of emotions that are longer than the Nile Our own thoughts and habits make us puppets that cry We live as prisoners right till we die And though we could from these monsters be free Instead of Freedom, we choose misery We are a slave of ignorance and myth We believe in rituals and superstitions, not the truth We chase achievement, thinking success is happiness And run the rat race, ending life in a mess Haven't you seen people who are prisoners of fear? They think a little virus will kill them, oh dear Fear has made the world lock down everything Shouldn't we be free to start living! And then, we are prisoners of worry and anxiety That these emotions can rule us, is a tragedy We are puppets of revenge and hate And we tie ourselves behind the misery gate Freedom must also be got from religion We must find out our true origin We must not just believe what people say We must investigate and find the right way Fences, Faces, Farces, Forces, the prison of four Locks us behind many a door We live and die, as a miserable slave And take our sorrow till our grave It’s not just being Free from misery on earth We must also be free from taking rebirth If we don't realize the truth, who am I Then we will not be free, even after we die The body will die, but what about 'me'? The one who passed away is not yet free It is the mind and ego that carries its Karma Until it is liberated and attains Moksha Therefore, the purpose of our life Is not just to be free from misery and strife But to be Enlightened and gain Liberation And to be free for Divine Unification Freedom,Freedom,Freedom-that’s our goal To be free from the body-mind-ego and live as the Soul We must be free from wishes, wealth, and wine So that we can become one with the Divine
