Once a person dreamt that he attained Mukti.He became very excited with the dream.So he started dancing joyously where he was standing thinking finally he achieved what human being life wants.
But,the neighbour came and shouted at him," This is my land.You can dance how much ever you want in your land.Dont step foot here!"
He walked a few distance and started dancing joyously on the street.Another person came and shouted,"You are not supposed to dance here.The people who live here and you have different religions.So dont dance in this street"
He walked searching for a free space and came to a nearby village and started dancing joyously.One villager came and shouted,"You are not from my village.Nobody other than our village people should dance here..".
He kept walking and came to the border of the country and thought he will dance there without anyone's restrictions.When he was about to cross the border,the security gaurd shouted,"You cannot cross the border without a permission letter.."
By now all his enthusiasm that he attained Mukti was gone.He simply kept walking,climbed a mountain top and sat simply.In the moments of solitude,he thought of enjoying the view.He saw that the clouds in the sky were sailing across borders without any restrictions.The river flowing below had cut across barriers silently.Birds in the sky were flying happily to their heart's content without anybody's permission.
Suddenly he realized that attaining Mukti was only in his dreams.It wasnt reality.He thought ,"Probably,For human beings Mukti is a dream with so many complicated things in this world"
Isnt it people.We can never have Mukti,Freedom i guess with all the complicated things we have created for ourselves?
For those of you wondering what MUKTI is..

It is a brilliant story with a great message.We are not really liberated with all our artificial and more often imaginary barriers that we create around us.We must truly shed the shackles that bind us.The tale has an hidden spiritual meaning too.
