how to be free a story from allshore once upon a time there was a Sufi Mystic called alhaj mansur one day a man walked up to alhaj and asked him you all go on talking about freedom freedom but how to be free alhaj answered him he said look it is very simple just see they were sitting in a mosque with pillars alhajj went close to a pillar caught hold of the pillar with both hands and started shouting help me help me how can I be free from this pillar the man said don't be crazy you're
acting like a madman you yourself are clinging to the pillar nobody's doing anything neither is the pillar doing anything to you what nonsense are you doing alhaj answered he said I am simply answering you you had asked me how to be free have you ever asked anybody the art of not being free that you know perfectly well I presume you go on creating new Chains new bondages it is your own doing undo it and it is good that it is your own doing because you can undo it without anybody else's permission still alhaj was holding
the pillar the man said at least now I have understood the point but please leave that pillar because a crowd is gathering everybody knows you're mad but I'm feeling embarrassed to be with you alhaj said only if you have really understood will I leave this pillar otherwise I will die with this pillar the man said oh my God to ask you a question is to create trouble and the crowd started abusing the person they said what did you do to poor alhaj what kind of question did you ask him and he told them it's strange
I had asked him just a simple question relax I asked him how to be free and rather than answering he went to the pillar and since then he's been holding the pillar and he's shouting for help that's why you all have gathered and alhaj was still shouting help me help me how can I be free finally the man said okay forgive me I will try but don't make too much mockery of me leave that pillar and Ali said what do you think am I holding the pillar or is the pillar holding me You' seen life
in your life first of all don't take life so seriously and second of all let go of the pillar your problems aren't holding on to you to you it is you who is holding on to your problem so just let go trust me it is easier than you think just let go everything will be fine leave that pillar this is their to do motivation stories thank you so much for watching and stay blessed
