Everyone wants freedom

In Vedanta teachings it is taught that all beings are moving towards freedom, and all beings innately desire that freedom. In some cases the desire is conscious, and in others it is unconscious, but the desire is there nonetheless. While individuals have a multitude of interests or pursuits, these can be broadly classified into 4 categories known as ‘the 4 pursuits’:

  1. Pleasure (kama)
  2. Wealth and security (artha)
  3. To do good (dharma)
  4. Freedom (moksha)

In the first 3 (kama, artha, and dharma) the individual is seeking freedom unconsciously. If you asked them what they sought, they would not say freedom. That instead may say they wanted various luxury items (kama) or they wanted money (artha) or they wanted justice in the world (dharma). Vedanta says that while this is true, the reason they want these 3 is that when the object of their desire is fulfilled, there is a sensation of peace, joy and freedom. It is in fact this sensation of freedom and joy which is ultimately being sought, and not the objects. The objects are just means to that end. However, as objects are transient and subject to their demise, the joy that arises through their possession is not lasting and dissatisfaction continues.

Therefore pursuing any of the first 3 pursuits may give rise to pleasure and joy, but this is ultimately unsatisfactory. (This is essentially the Buddhist teachings on dukkha). Note that there are many more pursuits outside of these 3, but the idea is to illustrate that all worldly pursuits (ie. looking for pleasures of the mind or body or world) are ultimately dissatisfactory and are based in the desire for freedom (moksha).

When an individual realises this deeply, they stop pursueing worldly pursuits and instead desire freedom, moksha, and are known as a mumukshu.

I therefore implore you with the following logic:
Everybody wants to be free. Realise that the world cannot give this to you. Anything that the world gives you can be taken away from you. With understanding (not with force), turn away from the world, examine the causes of suffering and sever them.
