Realising the Truth really sets you free

Finding happiness in your life can only be complete when you are liberated through knowledge.

There is a part of our mind that's always 'seeking'.
It is always confused and never seems to be 'content' or fully happy
It never finds the real answer you are looking for.
It never says 'Ah this is it, now i have found it'
THAT by knowing which you would say 'Ah I KNOW ! There is nothing more to know ' - is THE TRUTH.

Well you don't have to go anywhere to find this truth.
It is right there in you.
Yes ! Within you! All the answers are within you.

But for this you need to shut down your mind ! Not overwork it !
The mind is your best tool to get there, and still it is your worst enemy.
It's like the pole vault.
You can reach to a height with the pole, then you need to let go off the pole.
You need to let go off your mind, after you have reached a certain height.
By this i mean if you have employed your mind to analyse itself and the world,
And realised how illusory it really is, then you are on the spiritual path.
To have reached the maximum height that your mind can take you.
Now you have to let go off it. Shut it down.

How do you let go off your mind ?
One way is to become a devotee of a spiritual master.
It makes your ego wane in comparision with that of the master or what he points to.
When your mind/ego realises that it is nothing, but that the power that makes it work is the real thing, and that power is all there is, then you have arrived.

Another way is meditation on your self.
You try to feel your real self , intentionally asking 'where does this "I-ness" of my I come from'
You become aware of your real SELF.

It is as simple as realising the underlying power or awareness is the only real thing..and all that we see including your thoughts/mind/ego/world are all illusions.
And to make this our realisation through out our life, should be our worthwhile goals.

I say this because it would be what will get you real happiness, as opposed to any of the materialistic goals such as money, fame, love etc.
Such material goals may for a while seem worth seeking and seem to give you contentment, but in reality they are only prelude to the sorrow inherent in them.
Only realising the truth sets you absolutely free from sorrow.
