And he has never thought about what he is going to do when he will get freedom. Even in his dreams he was thinking only of freedom. It is being faced by every person who struggles first for freedom and then suddenly finds, ‘Now that I am free, what am I going to do?’ Up to now, he was so occupied, so engaged, so very busy. “Freedom from and freedom for – this is not something new that you are facing. Then your freedom is complete, then the circle is complete. If you have a talent to be a dancer, then be a dancer. Either you go deeper into meditation for self-realization – that’s what I was talking about: unless you become like Premda, pregnant – or if you have a certain kind of talent that has not been allowed to develop because of your fetters – you could not compose music because your hands were in chains, you could not dance because your feet were in chains. “Just freedom in itself does not mean anything, unless you choose a creative path.

This is the first part of freedom, the foundation of freedom. “The first side is freedom from: from nationality, from a certain church, from a certain race, from a certain political ideology. So you have to understand the whole psychology of freedom. “Freedom has two sides and if you have only one side of it, a single side, you will feel freedom mixed with sadness. ![]() Why then, after nine years, do I feel a bitter sadness mixed with this sense of freedom? I’ve felt able to move about without much fear and to be committed without feeling imprisoned.
