Absolute Freedom from Suffering
Yes it's possible
So, ABSOLUTE Freedom From Suffering huh. That should be the goal. The absolute goal. FREEDOM.
If you are doing something right or making mistakes, you have to be free from it. We have an imperfect mind and body, so mistakes are inevitable. It's our nature. We learn by mistakes.
In fact, let me rephrase that, "We learn by correcting our mistakes". That seems politically more correct.
Asking "THE QUESTION"
The right or wrong is in the mind. The question "Who Am I?", should be questioned again and again and again, until you are effortlessly stabilized with it. Don't ask this question just to get it over with, because then you will be trapped.
Don't ask this question in a way that you want an answer to this because if you want an answer, you will only get the answer which will be based on your prior knowledge about it.
Whatever you understood so far will be the basis of your so-called imaginative answer to that pertinent question and you will be over it. Let it just sink deeper and deeper into you and keep it in like a mantra. This is the only way to get complete freedom from SUFFERING, once and for all!
The most important thing to understand is, to walk down this path, you need to have INFINITE patience coupled with absolute enthusiasm. The lack of either one would spoil the whole deal!
Accept The Reality
We are all involved in "what should be" and "what shouldn't be", instead of "what actually is", which is the biggest reason for one's suffering.
If one's thoughts and actions are aligned with reality, then there is no way of making you suffer.
Now, one is the objective world (aka the materialistic world) of what you see. The other is the subjective world of the seer (the real you).
The one who is seeing (seer) is the more important one because based on how you see things, you feel happy or sad or any one of the hundred and twelve other emotions.
The seer is bigger than what he sees. That's the main objective here that I am trying to explain, to put it simply. You can see things much much bigger than your body, which means you are bigger than what you see.
(Now don't be an idiot and start measuring your body with buildings physically; we are at a level deeper than that.)
SEE VS SEER
So slowly and gradually our minds will start expanding and our understanding will begin to deepen.
You will realize you are not just what you SEE on the mirror (body), you are the SEER. The seer has a choice for what he wants to see. It's the seer's wish to be affected or not by what he is seeing. Just a slight change in the line of thinking and everything changes. The seer can start seeing the negative situation as a positive one to stop it from affecting him.
The real happiness comes where there is no bondage of any kind whatsoever. The tool to help you reach there is asking the question I have been emphasizing about. People who have been on this path tend to sometimes run away from this question. Once you look deep within, you will know exactly what I am talking about.
Introspection will lead to Self-Realization
Don't ever get stuck in a comfortable position. The moment you got some comfort, you get stuck to it. Well, let me tell you these comfort zones are just temporary escapes from the most important discovery of HUMANITY.
What you are and what you are not must be absolutely clear
Keep Yourself Healthy
And because it's so important for this question to get attention, you need to keep your body fit otherwise it will draw all the attention to itself and will keep you from asking the real questions.
Your mind should also be free from triviality and baseless desires. Financially also you should be secure at a certain level to not worry about it all the time.
If you actually want freedom, then you gotta design your life intelligently - your health, your line of thinking, your relationships, your financial conditions, etc.
Your whole life should be designed in such a way so that you can stay with this "question" for the rest of your life until the question dies itself.

Embracing The Darkness
In the depths of night, when the world is cloaked in shadows and silence reigns, there exists a realm of solitude where personal narratives unfold. It is in these moments, alone in the dark, that we confront our deepest fears, grapple with our innermost desires, and embark on a journey of self-discovery that transcends the boundaries of time and space.Every individual possesses a unique narrative, a tapestry of experiences woven together by the threads of joy and sorrow, triumphs and tribulations. These narratives, like constellations scattered across the night sky, guide us through the labyrinth of life, illuminating our path with the light of self-awareness and introspection.For some, being alone in the dark evokes a sense of trepidation, a fear of the unknown that lurks in the shadows. Yet, it is precisely in this darkness that we find the courage to confront our deepest fears, to face the demons that haunt the recesses of our minds. It is here, in the silence of the night, that we discover the strength within ourselves to emerge victorious, to transcend the limitations of our fears and emerge stronger, more resilient than before.In my own personal narrative, the darkness has been both a source of solace and a crucible of transformation. There have been moments when I have felt lost in the labyrinth of my own thoughts, overwhelmed by the weight of uncertainty and doubt. Yet, it is in these moments of darkness that I have found the clarity to see beyond the illusions of fear and uncertainty, to embrace the light of hope and possibility that resides within me.One such moment occurred during a period of profound loss and grief in my life. As I grappled with the pain of saying goodbye to a loved one, I found myself consumed by darkness, engulfed in a sea of sorrow that threatened to drown me. In those long, lonely nights, I felt the weight of despair pressing down upon me, suffocating me with its relentless intensity.Yet, it was in the midst of that darkness that I discovered a glimmer of light, a flicker of hope that refused to be extinguished. It was the memory of my loved one, their laughter echoing in the chambers of my heart, their spirit guiding me through the darkness like a beacon in the night. In their absence, I found the strength to carry on, to honor their memory by living my life with purpose and passion.In the silence of the night, I began to unravel the tangled threads of my grief, to find meaning amidst the chaos of loss. I sought solace in the beauty of nature, finding solace in the gentle embrace of the moonlight as it bathed the world in its soft, silver glow. I found comfort in the words of poets and philosophers, whose wisdom illuminated the path ahead with its timeless truths. Slowly but surely, I began to emerge from the darkness, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of despair. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness in my heart begin to lift, replaced by a sense of peace and acceptance that I had not known before. I realized that while the darkness had tested my resolve, it had also forged within me a resilience that would carry me through even the darkest of times.Today, as I look back on that journey through the darkness, I am filled with gratitude for the lessons it has taught me. I have learned that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light to guide us forward, to remind us that we are never truly alone. I have learned that it is in facing our fears that we find the courage to transcend them, to embrace the fullness of life with open arms.In the tapestry of personal narratives that weave together the fabric of human experience, the darkness is but a thread, a fleeting moment in the grand symphony of life. Yet, it is a thread that holds within it the power to transform, to inspire, to illuminate the darkest corners of our souls. And so, as I journey forth into the unknown, I do so with a heart full of hope and a spirit renewed by the wisdom of the darkness.
