Through this journey in life, we achieve the realisation of life at different levels. It is common sense that the realisation of life can bring us freedom and happiness. When we reach the highest level, however, there is no distinction between happiness and unhappiness; no distinction between freedom and bondage, such that everything abides in its own nature as self-liberated. This is the ultimate realisation of life.
