The Quiz of Inner Liberation

The Hindu Concept of Moksha

The basic idea behind this quiz takes its inspiration from the concept of Moksha, a word of Sanskrit origin, not translatable into English, which describes a spiritual phenomenon that is as important as it is distant from Western culture. Moksha literally means “liberation”. In the complex and varied Hindu religious tradition, this notion indicates a form of liberation that is not physical, but rather inner and therefore spiritual. In the Hindu view, souls are literally stuck within Samsara, or the endless cycle of reincarnations. The body thus ends up becoming a prison, although the vast majority of humanity has no awareness of this.

Spiritual Liberation Is Not for Everyone

The problem of liberating the soul from the constraints and illusions of the material world only concerns a minority of people, while all others fit perfectly within the world-system, which is sometimes also called “matrix” in honor of the movie released in theaters in 1999 (original title: The Matrix).

In essence, some possess the so-called divine spark, while others do not. Those who retain the spark within themselves will, sooner or later, have to come to terms with the demands of the soul, even though, life after life, their rational mind will do anything to silence the call of the universe. If you find yourself on this website/app, and feel a genuine desire to deepen into this topic, chances are that you are among those who possess the divine spark.

PURPOSE OF THE QUIZ

According to a great philosopher of ancient Greece named Socrates, there was only one major evil afflicting humanity, and this evil could be cured through philosophical research. Such a deficiency is still present today, indeed it is! Despite technological progress, the strides of scientific research and everything else, human nature has remained the same, and history continues to repeat itself cyclically.

We enter the world completely ignorant and without reference points. No one provides us with an instruction manual for living well. What to do, then? We have no choice but to rely on the tools that nature itself has provided us with, those that every living being possesses and uses to orient itself in the physical world and learn about it.

The five senses allow us to explore the physical world and gather stimuli from outside. Such sensations or perceptions may be pleasant, but at other times they cause discomfort, irritation, until they become unbearable. Pain is an example of this. Have you ever seen a pet at the mercy of the roar caused by a summer thunderstorm? Humans are not so different, in fact when faced with something unfamiliar they often react in the same way.

The human mind does not like to live in a state of fear or, even worse, terror. When something frightens it, after an initial moment of bewilderment and instinctive reaction, what does it do? There are basically two possibilities. The first is to face the fear, whatever the cost. The second alternative, definitely more common than the first one, is based on denial. Denial can take many forms; for example, pretending that a problem does not exist at all, or attempting to belittle it, or again inventing a “rational” explanation that turns the problem into something harmless or even positive.

How long can a comforting explanation, with little relevance to reality, last? Even for a lifetime, why not! However, the unconscious mind keeps working in the undergrowth and sooner or later it will bring up that little issue that you have been trying to hide or forget. In the meantime, the small problem has magnified and ignoring it now becomes quite hard. At this point, a new form of fear or apprehension takes over, perhaps less intense but more constant over time, which is capable of simmering the mind and generating a sense of impatience. What to do?

Uncertainty, in the long run, can lead to madness. You must deal with it somehow. You can opt for a retreat back to the stage of consolatory self-deception, or head off in the diametrically opposite direction, the one that has not yet been explored, and, for that very reason, particularly disturbing. You are faced with a crossroads: either turn back on the known path, or continue on the unexplored one. But what will be there beyond that crossroads? What if I then get lost? What if I get into trouble? Is it really worth it? What if….

After accepting the existence of doubt within one’s existence, the feeling of uncertainty and impatience only increases further. Having doubts is no pleasure to anyone; after all, we live in a world that claims to possess solid scientific certainties and beyond. You can always opt to return to the consolation stage by telling yourself a pleasant and reassuring little tale. However, thinking about it, some of those supposed certainties rest on an unstable foundation to say the least.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to find out for yourself, putting aside for a moment the assurances and beliefs taken for granted up to this point, and see if there is more to it?

A well-done search motivated by good intentions always leads to some interesting revelations. In the case of spiritual research, these might be discoveries that are disruptive, to say the least, and that can unlock a new realm of possibilities. A feeling of disbelief, even bewilderment, follows. It becomes nearly impossible to stop just now; in fact, thoughts go their own way and the world now looks so different than it did just a moment before. This feeling is somewhat similar to that experienced as a child, when, faced with a phenomenon never seen before, you felt a mixture of curiosity and awe.

This stage is one of the most traumatic and enlightening at the same time. The feeling it causes is comparable to the sensation one feels after buying an object that has been long desired and on which disproportionate expectations had been placed. At first, excitement and curiosity take over. Then one soon realizes there is nothing magical or special about that object; in fact, seen up close it even looks cheap. In the end, it works despite not being perfect; yet there remains that bitter aftertaste in the back of the mouth along with that latent sense of unfulfillment.

After making resounding discoveries about the workings of the world and the nature of reality, and following the disappointment that comes from realizing that things are not exactly as we have been told, what is left to do? Returning back to a state of blissful ignorance gets more and more difficult, and would mean lying to oneself in the first place. But why do other people appear to raise no questions at all? Is it possible that they can live quietly and carefree in their unawareness? No, this is not acceptable. One has a moral duty to inform them and at least try to awaken them from their mental numbness! The world will never become a better place if sleepers are the majority! You are ready for change, but others are not yet. Is it not so?

In trying to inform and help others, one eventually comes up against a harsh reality: other people are fine as they are and have no desire to turn things upside down. They live just fine surrounded by duality. It doesn’t matter how much effort you may put into trying to do good for the masses, because if people don’t perceive the problem and consequently don’t want to be helped, there is really nothing you can do outside of acknowledging it. Doubts are beginning to arise that soul awakening and the evolution of consciousness are not goals within everyone’s reach. Sad to say, but it really seems that this is an individual path and not a collective one. Another noble hope being demolished, as if spiritual liberation consists in giving up all the false securities and unrealistic expectations accumulated over time.

This is the ultimate point of no return. The moment when the change of perspective takes place and the transition from the mental to the spiritual plane is made; regressing is no longer possible. This is the stage when it finally becomes possible to distance yourself from your mind, gaining the realization that your true self is not defined by your thoughts, which are often the result of external conditioning. You are about to acquire the ability to detach yourself from earthly and material possessions, embracing a perspective focused on the inner quest rather than running after worldly things. So, are you ready to experience a higher form of consciousness that will connect you directly to the divine source?

You are almost there. Only one last step remains to be taken before freeing your true spiritual essence, once and for all, from the chains of the physical world. In order to do this, it is necessary to assume a detached and imperturbable point of view, which is totally insensitive to material needs and mental temptations related to doing and having. This is the stage of so-called “ascent”, where the link between one’s individual soul and the Whole, that is, the entire universe, is consolidated. Earthly things, and the duality in which they are immersed, take a back seat: the focus now shifts to the otherworldly plane and everything becomes a matter of consciousness and awareness.

This is it! The majority of the work has been done, now only the last step needs to be taken. Observing things from your spiritual perspective, you get the impression that human beings, all caught up in their daily activities, are just like little ants running back and forth without any logic. Come on, make this last little effort and consciously welcome the whole universe within yourself, for you are part of the Whole, just as everyone else is, albeit without being aware of it.

I’ve been on a spiritual journey for years, but this quiz helped me see things from a fresh perspective. It wasn’t just about self-discovery, it was about understanding how to let go of what no longer serves me.

Samuel O’Connor – Rating: IIIII
What I loved most about this quiz was how it balanced depth with simplicity. It didn’t overwhelm me, but it still managed to touch on aspects of my life I rarely think about. The results felt like a warm, reassuring hug.
