What is liberation in everyday living?

In my humble opinion, when a man can say that he does not see, when asked if he does see through his healthy eyes, or when he is eating, or doing any activity, he feels that he is not engaged in that activity, then that man, perhaps is said to be liberated. If a man can be liberated in the process of his life, what is it that prevents him from being liberated at the period of his birth? Nothing can prevent him, as he is already liberated. A moment, when one perfectly believes, or is perfectly happy in another's company, is the cause of the comprehension of liberation. When we do not feel that we are acting, we feel a deadening of our emotions. Only those faculties work, when we act in this state, which need to work. It is said, that a man of perfection(who is liberated) has no desire, unless he is acting a part in his mind. When he does not act the part, he feels that he has no desire. When a man can feel that he is with his mother in the company of a man, or feel dead in his emotions, in the company of a lady, when he is trying to emote, or act emotions, then, perhaps, that person is liberated. But what is said to be a sign of liberation, by what I infer from the sayings of those who are Holy is this: that what is normal in another human, is special and pronounced in the man who is liberated. A normal man may take life for granted, or something to be lived, but a liberated man does not. Why this difference in the functioning of a liberated man, and a man who perceives that he is not liberated? Just as the Doctor puts his skills, which were caused by a due process, to use, differently from an Accountant, hence, the change in the functioning of a liberated man, and one whom does not consider himself liberated. If a liberated man confronts himself with a query, on whether he is liberated, perhaps he will infer, that he does not know.
