The liberating qualities

 As per  Sahaj Marg system of Raja Yoga, there are five points in the heart region(subtle knots  in our Astral body) the losseining or unwinding of these knots are essential to move ahead towards liberation( A state wherein a soul has a choice to be born in this earth dimension )

1.The first point starts in the left side of our heart region and is connected to the element earth, contentment is the key quality of this point or knot. The degree of our contentment depends on our ability to practice Gratitude. At each point we also need to apply the moderation technique. So in a state of contentment we need to do our best.

2. The second point is in the right side of the heart. It's called as the atman point. The key quality of this point is calmness/peace. We need to practice Acceptance to arrive at a state of peace or calmness. Applying the moderation technique,  we need to progress in peace.

3. The third point is above the first point on the left side of the heart. The key quality of this point is love/compassion.  It's the point of fire. We need to practice Non Judgment to arrive at a state of compassion/love.  Applying the moderation technique we need to integrate love and detachment. 

4. The fourth point is above the second point on the right side of the heart. Its a point of water. The key quality of this point is courage. We need to practice "living in the NOW " to arrive at a state of courage, without having regrets of  the past or anxiety of the future. Applying the moderation technique,  while living in the NOW, we need to learn from the past and be prepared to face the future.

5. The fifth point is right below the throat. It's a point of space or sky. The key quality is clarity/ discrimination which differentiates human beings from other creatures. We need to practice Truth to arrive at a state of clarity. Applying the moderation technique here, all the consciousness attained in the journey should be liberating and not binding. 

When we apply the moderation technique at each point, automatically our consciousness which develops at each point will be liberating and not binding.

In simple words Daaji says we need to keep a check on the five C's which are the liberating qualities.  Contentment, Calmness, Compassion, Courage, Clarity each representing the key quality from points 1 to 5. There is still a very long journey beyond liberation but that is a bare minimum we need to achieve in this life time. 

" Be courageous, be peaceful, be loving and less inviting to desires,  that is the heartfulness way of life" - Daaji

So this beautiful statement clearly states our way of life should be manifesting the liberating qualities in our day to day existence.  Liberation is not a magical condition which someone can bestow upon us,  it's all upon us to acquire those qualities and manifest them in our life's journey.
