1. Freedom from bondage is liberation. It is different from salvation which is not the end of the process of rebirth. Salvation is only a temporary pause in the rotation. It is the suspension of the process of birth and death only for a certain fixed period after which we again assume the material form. The endless circle of rebirth ends only when we have secured liberation. It is the end of our pains and miseries. Anything short of liberation cannot be taken as the goal of life although there remains still a lot beyond it. people will think it to be a very far-off thing which can be achieved by persistent efforts for a number of lives. In the diagram, the state of liberation lies between the 2nd and the 3rd circles. The various conditions we have to pass through in order to secure liberation are all acquired within about a circle and a half. This may help the reader to form a rough idea of what still remains to be achieved after we have reached the point of liberation which really, as commonly believed, is not an ordinary achievement.  RD 14-15 goal of life
  2. Freedom from eternal bondage is not possible so long as we are within entanglements. RD – 15 goal of life
  3. Every action of human being leaves an impression on the mind which remains in touch with the causal body. When one departs from one place , that material ( of accumulated impressions) persists and is carried over by oneself. ( from the past life to the new one) . If in the present life, one has not performed good actions , the impressions brought from the previous life will start their fruition( Bhoga) i.e being enjoyed ( or suffered) when a favorable climate ( for their fruition) is available. The actions performed in the present life , whatever , will mostly bring immediate punishment or reward in their trail ; and a few shall be carried over for fruition ahead. This chain shall continuously go on up to the final dissolution. ( of creation ) . Impressions will be coming one after the other for fruition ( enjoyment or suffering ) ; and this chain will continue without being broken unless it comes to an end. AB II VOL II P 16
  4. The condition of the fruition of impressions takes shape when the climate is favorable to it. There is no question of compound interest . There is no third or fourth place in realization in it. Everything germinates and grows through warmth. Just this is to be comprehended, that is the ripe condition for the fruition of impressions brought ( from earlier life) shall develop quickly to the extent that these remain in touch with the warmth of love of the Real; and that an aspirants ( immediate) potency for fruition ( of impressions) restrains their being carried over(for fruition in the future) . In our fold , formation of the impressions of present actions gets stopped if the real form of love ( and attachment) is developed. Only fruition(suffering) of ( impressions of) past actions remains. AB II VOL II P 17
  5. The problem before us is not mere deliverance from pain and misery but freedom from bondage, which is the ultimate cause of pain and misery. Freedom from bondage is liberation.  RD 14 goal of life
  6. At the stage of liberation one is relieved of all the five koshas or sheaths , without which one’s naked form could not have come into view. Complete freedom from these ‘koshas’ is an essential feature of realization , and that is possible within the life-time of a man too. VR I -248
