You must learn to stand on your own legs and not to depend on others
You must learn to stand on your own legs and not to depend on others.
You must rely on the Divine and not become subservient to others in worldly
matters. That alone is true freedom. Free will means knowledge of the Atma or
Spirit. Self-control is true freedom. Spiritual bliss is freedom.
Self-realization is freedom. Exercising one’s free will does not consist in
living according to one’s whims and fancies, indulging the fleeting pleasures
of the senses and wasting one’s entire life in experiencing momentary joys. It
means acting according to the dictates of one’s conscience.
