The great liberation is liberation from influences outside us.
The lesser liberation is liberations from influences within us.
-G. I. Gurdjieff
Stabilize the mind in the practice of meditation,
concentrate the consciousness in the heart-sky;
this is liberation.
-Nityananda
This "juncture" is the paradoxical point
of being omnipresent while apparently animating a finite body;
of being omniscient while apparently possessing limited knowledge;
of being eternal while apparently being manifested
as a human being with a finite span of life;
of being infinitely blissful while apparently experiencing pleasure and pain.
This is the point of liberation, which is no point at all,
as it transcends space as well as time.
-Georg Feuerstein

Remember the pendulum:
volatile bodies always seek their fixation,
and the liberation of Consciousness
is precisely the possibility of no longer falling back toward corporeal fixity,
Consciousness itself becoming the corporeal fixity.

As I understand it
when there is not word to utter,
not a sign to see,
nothing to take cognizance of
and when there is complete detachment
from every form of questioning
then only enters the gate of "Advaitam" -
nonduality or emancipation.

When the soul leaves the physical body,
it is called death;
when the soul leaves the subtle body,
it is called liberation.

The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it -
basically because you feel good, very good,
when you are near or with them.
