My soul is ready to take wings
From the illusionary cage of bondage
Grappled was I in its tentacles
Masks of numerous desires
Befriended me like a cloak of Iron
Tossed and hurled in its labyrinth
Winds of sadness and melancholy
Had carried me beyond recognition
Thrown asunder like a corroded piece of rust
Laid I shattered and utterly bewildered
Screaming with mindless woe
Let me out someone, I am choking
Gasping for some breath of freshness
Alas! There was no one to hear me
One day I stopped in my tracks
I listened in the stillness of its silence
Heard the most beautiful sound
…………… My Soul.
My Soul was free, triumphant
Ready to take its flight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindly explain to me – Why is the soul in Bondage ?
And when you say the “Soul is Free now”, does it mean, that the soul is freonly after it leaves the Body ?

Yes Cattie our soul is always in bondage the body is like a cage the day we realize that there is no one but me than the soul is set free and merges with himself. Of course it is free after it leaves the body but again it takes a new body as our mind does not die only the body.

but do you really believe soul is transfered from one body to other..?
LikeLike
No not that way Akhila since our mind does not die and because of our karma that Cattie would not have understood, it goads us to take another birth and that is why our soul which is ever nameless, changeless has to by force be in bondage like a bird in a cage who knows its freedom but feels I am tied. Open the cage and then it will fly to freedom. This is the way our Soul is all the time free but caught up in maya and its own shadow.

Soul is always free it is your karma that takes you along in different bodies.

how can you do a different karma or lead a different life without the knowledge of soul.. i feel they are all interconnected..
LikeLike
All souls are one first of all Akhila and we do not do a different karma, we take on different bodies depending on our good and bad sanskaras. The body dies but the mind does not so whatever we have done in this birth we come down with the same mind in a different body. It is like a car once it become old we want to take on a new car isnt it so with our bodies. Today a woman, another life a man till we understand that all this mayavic an illusion and there is nothing but only one Oversoul and there is only Oneness in Unity.

We are all one. It is only because of our sanskaras that we keep on coming in births after births otherwise all this is a complete Zero, we are never born and we have never died. The day we realize that we are the Ocean and not drops in the ocean will be the day when there is no coming and going only bliss.

Ok, but why is the body a Cage to the Soul. That only happens when you are doing something wrong with the body, that the soul grieves inside.

Cause the soul is free whether happy or sad it just wants to be free of entanglements. Have u ever seen a bird kept in a cage it feels that the cage is its life and does not know what is freedom. Once you open the cage and see how it flies our soul too wants to fly to its original place of bliss.
