- To be totally free one needs to be totally aware,

- Because our bondage is rooted in our unconsciousness;

- It does not come from the outside.

- Nobody can make you unfree .

- You can be destroyed but your freedom cannot be taken away -

- Unless you give it away.

- In the ultimate analysis it is always your desire to be unfree that makes you unfree .

- It is your desire to be dependent,

- Your desire to drop the responsibility of being yourself,

- That makes you unfree .

- The moment one takes responsibility for oneself...

- And remember it is not all roses,

- There are thorns in it; and it is not all sweet,

- There are many bitter moments in it.

- The sweet is always balanced by the bitter,

- They always come in the same proportion.

- The roses are balanced by the thorns,

- The days by the nights, the summers by the winters.

- Life keeps a balance between the polar opposites,

- So one who is ready to accept the responsibility of being oneself with all its beauties, bitternesses ,

- In joys and agonies, can be free.

- Only he can be free.

- Accept the responsibility of being yourself as you are,

- With all that is good and with all that is bad,

- With all that is beautiful and that which is not beautiful.

- In that acceptance a transcendence happens and one becomes free.

- Freedom means transcendence, going above the duality.

- Then you are neither ecstasy nor agony;

- Y ou are just a witness to all that happens to you.

- That transcendence is real freedom and that makes one enlightened, liberated.
