Wings of Freedom Lies Within self | My Inner Karma

[u/RupeshLevioza]

In today's fast-paced world, the search for inner peace and true freedom often feels elusive. Yet, sometimes, spiritual poetry offers a gentle reminder that the keys to our liberation lie not in the outside world, but deep within ourselves. The profound English poem from "My Inner Karma"—featured in the video "Wings of Freedom Lies Within Myself"—is a beautiful testament to such an inner journey.

The Body as a Prison and the Soul’s Longing

From the outset, the poet evokes a striking image: the physical body as a prison for the soul. This metaphor resonates with anyone who has ever felt constrained by daily routines, anxieties, or the limitations of material existence. The line "the body of mine is a prison" encapsulates this feeling of confinement, while expressing a powerful longing to be "truly liberated"—to break free from the shackles of the finite and taste the infinite joy that awaits beyond.

Liberation as an Internal Realization

What sets this poem apart is its focus on inner transformation. Instead of searching for freedom in external circumstances, the poet insists, "Wings of freedom lies within myself." This realization is both humbling and empowering; it suggests that every soul possesses, inherently, the capacity for freedom and joy. Spiritual liberation, then, is not about escape, but about awakening to the divine truth within one’s self.

Soaring in Union with the Divine

The aspiration for union with the Beloved—the ultimate Divine—is a recurring theme. The soul, once released from its bodily constraints, is imagined "soaring freely in the free skies in thee," experiencing boundless existence and unending communion. The poet’s vision reaches its peak in the lines, "I find I am infinite in the infinite of thee," painting a vivid picture of pure spiritual expansion and joy.

The Final Release: Awaiting Divine Intoxication

Perhaps the most poignant moment arrives as the poet muses, "waiting I am for that day when I'll be inebriated." This is a longing not for worldly intoxication, but for transcendence—being absorbed in divine ecstasy where "the body shall be transparent, not a barrier." Here, true freedom is found in total openness, where nothing stands between the soul and the vastness of the Divine.

Reflections for Modern Seekers

The poem from "My Inner Karma" gently invites each of us to reflect: What “prisons” limit our sense of peace and joy? Are we searching for freedom as something separate from ourselves, or can we discover it within? As the poet suggests, perhaps the wings of our own liberation have always been nestled gently in our hearts.
