Abstract

It is significant that the visionaries of political economy, of philosophy, of culture and social justice and related areas have cherished freedom as of practical and spiritual importance, and as protective of liberty of soul. Be it from the material bondage or physical, freedom is enthralling as always and invaluable for our own growth. It is from this dimension that the richness of spiritual praxis is viewed to propose may be the innovative alternatives to the dilemma of existence, freedom and its relation to ethics and the world. There are, therefore, possibilities that ideas concerning freedom and ethics may appear contradictory on another level. While focusing on the importance of spiritual praxis as speculated by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Tagore, Kabir, Allamaprabhu, Gibran, Kant and others, besides raising the complexities of Self/Soul and its relation to freedom we find the inter-dependence of ethics and freedom as a categorical imperative interestingly.
