Generally, freedom is defined as the ability to do what you wish whenever and however you want. It is also sometimes termed as free will. However, this is not true freedom. After looking into the nature of bondage I have come to realize that true freedom is freedom from the “wish” itself.
Yes, it is possible for us to remain free and yet function ‘normally’ in this world. All that is required is to free yourself from the attachment of fruit of your efforts. That will free you of the “wishing” part I spoke about. Once again, easier said that done.. but not impossible. One way to practice this is by doing self-less service. Any service for the society or anyone for that matter (your spouse, parents, children, friends etc.). Just serve them once a day without expecting anything in return and experience the transformation.
Just Being Human...
