Free Yourself from Past, Present and Future’ The Path to Self-Realization and Liberation

Abstract

‘The ecstasy, which he calls “Liberation while yet living” (Jivanmukti), is not a state like that of real liberation. He may be still subject to a suffering body, from which he escapes only at death, when he is liberated. His ecstasy is in the nature of a meditation which passes into the void (bhavana Samadhi) effected through negation of thought (citta vritti) and detachment from the world.’ (Avalon, 1975, p. 289)
