True Meaning of Freedom: A Spiritual Reflection on the 4th of July – By Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj

🗽 Introduction: The Essence of 4th July

The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day in the United States of America, marks a historic moment when the American colonies declared independence from British rule in 1776. It is a day of pride, celebration, and remembrance. People gather for fireworks, parades, music, and patriotic speeches, expressing their love for freedom.

But have we ever paused to think — what is real freedom? Is political freedom the ultimate liberation, or is there a deeper spiritual meaning? According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, while worldly independence is essential, true freedom lies in liberation from the bondage of birth, death, sin, and ignorance.

Let us explore the 4th of July through the divine lens of spiritual wisdom.

🧠 The Illusion of External Freedom

While the United States earned freedom from British rule, the human soul remains in the grip of inner slavery — bound by lust, anger, ego, greed, attachment, and desires. Despite having constitutional rights, people suffer from anxiety, depression, addiction, and endless desires. Why?

Because external systems may grant civil liberties, but only true spiritual knowledge (Tatvagyan) can liberate the soul.

“Real Independence is freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Political freedom ends at the body, but spiritual freedom begins with the soul.” – Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj

📖 What Scriptures Say About True Freedom

All holy scriptures — the Bible, Quran, Vedas, and Guru Granth Sahib — emphasize that human life is rare and its purpose is salvation (Moksha). The Holy Gita Chapter 18 Verse 62 instructs us to take shelter in the Supreme God for ultimate peace.

Holy Bible (John 8:32): "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Holy Quran Surah Furqan 25:58: “Rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die.”
Rigveda Mandal 10 Sukta 4 Mantra 3: “Worship that Eternal God who has a human-like form and resides in Satlok.”

These scriptures do not glorify material independence but rather freedom of the soul from ignorance and illusion.

🔗 Are We Truly Free?

Look at the modern world:

Addicted to technology, people have forgotten inner peace.
Success is measured by wealth, not wisdom.
We have laws, but crimes are increasing.
There are hospitals, but diseases are spreading.

This means we are slaves to our karmic debt and mind, even though we have political freedom. We live under the illusion of freedom, while remaining spiritually imprisoned.

🙏 Who Can Give Real Freedom?

According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the Supreme God who can grant complete salvation and eternal freedom is Kabir Saheb, who comes in all ages to liberate souls. Today, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only Tatvdarshi (true spiritual teacher) who is showing the path of true worship (Satbhakti) based on all holy scriptures.

He says:

“You were not born to earn and die. You were born to meet God and attain permanent freedom.”

Through Naam Diksha (initiation) and scripture-based devotion, thousands of devotees have experienced:

Freedom from addictions
Release from incurable diseases
Liberation from mental stress
Freedom from the fear of death

This is the true celebration of independence — victory over Maya (illusion), not just foreign rulers.

🎇 Fireworks vs. Inner Light

On the 4th of July, we light the sky with fireworks to mark our joy. But what about lighting the soul with spiritual knowledge?

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj encourages us to:

Celebrate knowledge over ignorance
Illuminate our lives with truth
Detach from temporary pleasures
Meditate on the true Naam of the Supreme God

“Let there be fireworks of realization within, not just in the sky.” – Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj

🕊️ True Independence in Spiritual Practice

When one receives Naam-Mantra (true mantra) from a true Saint and follows Sat-Bhakti (true devotion), they attain:

Salvation (Moksha)
Freedom from Kaal (Satan)
Entry into Satlok, the eternal divine abode
End of rebirth and karmic suffering

This is real Swatantrata (independence) — as taught by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.

📢 The 4th of July Message from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj inspires us to reflect deeply on:

Are we truly free if we are still trapped in ego, sin, and death?
Is celebrating independence enough, or should we seek liberation of the soul?
Instead of one-day patriotism, can we embrace a lifetime of spiritual loyalty to the Supreme God?

He says:

“You can celebrate a hundred Independence Days, but you’ll only be free when you accept the eternal knowledge from scriptures and worship the Supreme God.”

🔄 Real Change Begins Within

The American Revolution brought political change. But a spiritual revolution can bring peace to all humanity.

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has started a peaceful spiritual movement that promotes:

One caste – humanity
One religion – worship of one God (Kabir Saheb)
One goal – salvation

Thousands have transformed their lives. This is the true revolution that the world needs today — not through war, but through wisdom.

🌎 A Global Message for Humanity

This Independence Day, let us not limit ourselves to borders or flags. Let us embrace universal brotherhood, self-realization, and God-realization.

Just as America awakened from colonial rule, may every human awaken from:

The slavery of Maya
The trap of false gurus
The darkness of ignorance

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is awakening the world through Satsangs, free books, free Naam initiation, and social reforms.

✅ What Can You Do Today?

This 4th of July, instead of just watching fireworks:

Read Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s books like Gyan Ganga or Way of Living.

Take Naam Diksha and begin true devotion.
Share this message of real independence with family and friends.

🏁 Conclusion: The True 4th of July

The 4th of July reminds us of the value of freedom — but let’s not stop at external liberty. True celebration is when the soul is free from karmic bondage and attains God.
