Quotations
Freedom
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
-Ashtavakra Gita "Ashtavakra Gita 17:4-7"
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
There is freedom in stepping out and taking risks when you know at any given moment, you can always begin again.
-Eva Gregory
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
-Deep Trivedi
The only way to achieve freedom is to free your mind from the world we live in.
