દિવ્ય સ્વાતંત્ર્યનો સૂર્ય ઊગવો
પ્રજાસત્તાકે આત્મ-દેશ ખૂલવો...
દેશદાઝનો ઢંકાયેલ દરિયો
ઠંઠોળાઈને આજ, વહેવો જોજનો...
જણગણમાં જે ઊંડે ધરબાયો
ઊર દરમાં આજ, પોકારતો થવો...
યુવા- શિશુ જે કંઈ, સુષ્ક સુપ્ત તાકતો
શક્તિધોધ આજ ભીંજતો વરસવો...
મન કેરાં - ખેત, મેદાન, ડુંગરા વીંધતો
દેશભક્તિભાવનો, આજ રોપાજો રોપો..
તિરંગાનાં કેસરી-શ્વેત-લીલા રંગો
દેશહૈયે આજ, બળ-શાંતિ-વૃદ્ધિ ભરજો...
વેદગાન ને ઊપનિષદ મંત્રો
લોકવાણીવર્તનમાં, આજ વણાતાં હોજો...
વિકાસ ને સોહાર્દમય જીવનો
ટેકે, એકમેકને આજ, સંગે સહચરજો...
દેશદિન ને દિવ્ય અવસર 'મોરલી', તો
દિવ્ય વાયરો આજ, રહયો સ્પર્શવો...
‘The longing to be free is lodged in such a deep layer of the human heart that a thousand arguments are powerless to uproot it'. No one has ever explored the nature of freedom more profoundly and passionately than Sri Aurobindo.
His final definition of freedom is a vision that transcends rational thought and leaps up towards an almost mystical insight:
Freedom is the law of being in its illimitable unity, secret master of all Nature: servitude is the law of love in the being voluntarily giving itself to serve the play of its other selves in the multiplicity.
It is when freedom works in chains and servitude becomes a law of Force, not of Love, that the true nature of things is distorted and a falsehood governs the soul's dealings with existence.
Nature starts with this distortion and plays with all the combinations to which it can lead before she will allow it to be righted. Afterwards, she gathers up all the essence of these combinations into a new and rich harmony of love and freedom.
Freedom comes by a unity without limits; for that is our real being. We may gain the essence of this unity in ourselves; we may realise the play of it in oneness with all others. The double experience is the complete intention of the soul in Nature.
Having realised infinite unity in ourselves, then to give ourselves to the world is utter freedom and absolute empire.
Infinite, we are free from death; for life then becomes a play of our immortal existence. We are free from weakness, for we are the whole sea enjoying the myriad shock of its waves. We are free from grief and pain for we learn how to harmonise our being with all that touches it and to find in all things action and reaction of the delight of existence. We are free from limitation, for the body becomes a plaything of the infinite mind and learns to obey the will of the immortal soul. We are free from the fever of the nervous mind and the heart, yet are not bound to immobility.
Immortality, unity and freedom are in ourselves and await there our discovery; but for the joy of love God in us will still remain the many.
This was Sri Aurobindo's last word on the nature of freedom

Flower Name: Careya arborea
Significance: Liberation
The disappearance of the ego
Liberation signifies an emergence into the true spiritual nature of being where all action is the automatic self-expression of that truth and there can be nothing else. SA
Deep, intense, convincing common to all who have overstepped a certain limit of the active mind-belt into the horizonless inner space, this is the great experience of liberation, the consciousness of something within us that is behind and outside of the universe and all its firms, interests, aims, events and happenings, calm, untouched, unconcerned, illimitable, immobile, free...SA
