Freedom

- I have seen the freest among you wear their freedom as a yoke and a handcuff.

- You can only be free when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal.

- You are free when you are without a want and a grief and you rise above them naked and 

  unbound.

- You have chains around you and one of those chains is what you call freedom.

- Your freedom is the discarding fragments of your own self.

- If there is a law you would abolish for freedom it is the law that was written with your own 

  hand upon your own forehead.

- You cannot erase it by burning your law book or washing your forehead.

- Destroy  the throne which was erected within you by you.

- If it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of 

  others.

- All things move within you, the desired and the escaped from.

- Your freedom when it loses its fetters that confine, it becomes the fetter of a greater freedom.
