Physical and Spiritual Slavery


I would say that there are two types of slaveries present in this world. The very first one is the physical slavery and the other one is spiritual slavery. Most of the people are free from the physical slavery but only a few people have been able to free themselves from the spiritual slavery which can be called enlightenment.
It would be good to explain about them briefly before I talk about them in detail. We all know that what is physical slavery. Almost every country has suffered because of physical slavery if we look back in the history. Then, the people realized about their rights and started fighting for themselves which made them free from such slavery. Now, this freeing from physical slavery has given them a misconception that they are absolutely free and they can control their life as they want but they are living in some other kind of slavery called spiritual slavery. The spiritual slavery is implemented in such an intelligent design that one cannot know that he is still a slave here. All the information that is reaching us has been controlled by the politicians, religious leaders and bureaucrats. They can make us believe what they want us to believe.
I have vast amount of stuff to write about this slavery but I will try to be brief. My intention will be just to make you realize that it is present. Later, you will understand it in detail automatically. I would say that imposing of anything on you like beliefs, religions, social systems, cultures etc. without your control is spiritual slavery. You have been bound to accept these things as you have no control over it. The foundation stone of this slavery is because of conditioning of mind since the time of our birth. A child is said to believe what we think is correct. We impose our belief systems, religions and social systems on the innocent mind of a child and it hides the inner flowering of a child.
