Famous Quotes about freedom“ I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing.

The whole work of meditation is to make you aware of all that is "mind" and disidentify yourself from it. That very separation is the greatest revolution that can happen to man. Now you can do and act on only that which makes you more joyous, fulfills you, gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty. But this is possible only if the master in you is awake. Right now the master is fast asleep. And the mind, the servant, is playing the role of master. And the servant is created by the outside world, it follows the outside world and its laws. Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created. There is no blissfulness more precious than freedom, than being a master of your own destiny. ” “ As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ” “ Conquering any difficulty always gives one a secret joy, for it means pushing back a boundary-line and adding to one's liberty. ” “ Freedom and love go together.

Whatever is happening is a game, God's game and you play your part and enjoy it. ” “ Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life. ” “ There is no such thing as part freedom. ” “ Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality. ” “ Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem. ” “ Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ” “ We are imagining that we are bound and are making various strenuous attempts to become free, while we are all the time free. ” “ How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech. ” |
