More From Ramana Maharshi

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... for myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. the liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. we objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

In the west, there's a myth that freedom means free expression-that to follow all desires wherever they take one is true freedom. in fact, as one serves the mind, one sees that following desires, attractions, and repulsions is not at all freedom, but is a kind of bondage. a mind filled with desires and grasping inevitably entails great suffering. freedom is not to be gained through the ability to perform certain external actions. true freedom is an inward state of being. once it is attained, no situation in the world can bind one or limit one's freedom.
Mean Expression Mind
Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. it did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.

A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. we never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. by its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. love transforms with redemptive power.
Hate Love Is Enemy
There is a growing subculture of barefoot runners, people who got rid of their shoes. and what they have found uniformly is you get rid of the shoes, you get rid of the stress, you get rid of the injuries and the ailments.
