Jivanmukta
Jivanmukta is he who has totally surrendered himself to God; so much so, that God alone works through him, his individual ego having been conquered. He always lives in God and God lives in him. He craves for no fame, no wealth, no earthly pleasures of any kind. In the inner consciousness of his being he finds the source of all bliss, and so lives contented under all conditions; no change of any kind in his life disturbs the even tenor of his mind.
He remains under all conditions at peace with himself. Nothing daunts him.
If he undertakes any work, it is always without any selfish motive; and no threat or pain or even death will prevent him from the performance of such work, since he takes it that the work is enjoined on him by God Himself.
He may often not have even the feeling that God is working through him but he does all work without the least sense of egoism.
People in general will extol him at one time, and speak ill of him at another. He is bound by nobody’s opinion.
He is free – ever free. Om Sri Ram.
