I recall one story. There was a Parrot living happily in a small house locked in a beautiful cage of a freedom fighter. The freedom fighter had earlier fought a battle & won it with his combatant skills. Being a fighter, he always used to utter one word – Freedom. This word was patriotic for him. The parrot in the cage used to listen to this & eventually the parrot memorized it & started uttering the same occasionally. It happened one night, a friend of the freedom fighter came to stay at his place. When the friend was about to sleep he heard the parrot uttering “Freedom”, “Freedom”. Being emotional to the suffering of the parrot, he opened the door of the cage & the parrot flew in the sky. For the parrot, freedom from the cage was the Absolute freedom but for any human being the ultimate freedom is the Transcendence from the conditioning of the Mind and the Mind itself. We hear of many miracles, but for me the one & only singlemost miracle is to become Witness to your Mind. Only when you become a mirroring consciousness just like a mirror reflecting the objects, it is the only Miracle. Thereby comes the freedom from the mind & this transcendence is the meditative state of being in Awareness – your own Beingness, the Ultimate Freedom.
