What knowledge, what understanding of life can we acquire if weare not free, inwardly free?


"What knowledge, what understanding of life can we acquire if we

are not free, inwardly free? It is the absence of inner freedom

that prevents humans from discovering the essential truths they

need in order to orient themselves in life.

So many men and women consider freedom to be the most precious

possession, and they will fight to achieve it! Yes, but what they seek is not the freedom that can give them the living knowledge

able to sustain them and save them. On the contrary, they are

engaged in activities that enslave them and blind them. It is as

if they were walking through a magnificent landscape or garden

but were so weighed down with worries and grief they were unable

to see any of it. All the wonders of heaven and earth are there,

all around them and within them, but to see them and understand

them they would have to be free, inwardly free."
