Open up, create free space; release the bound one from his bonds! Like a newborn child, freed from the womb, be free to move on every path!

"Knowledge And Decisions"
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
-Ambrose Bierce
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"
