Freedom! Do you know what it means
Never say I want freedom from my tormentor
You will escape from one, but get trapped by another.
Never say you want freedom from life.
How do you know that Death isn't a trap
Your desires will always chase you wherever you are
You aren't free till then.
If you do not get something from someone.
It will be a trap to try to get it from elsewhere
Free you are, only when you have left no desire for anything.
You aren't free till you are flawlessly detached.
Freedom cannot mean to escape pain and be always happy
That could be a trap that I will little know about.
While there will be time when I am deprived of everything and in immense suffering
But I a free from the influence of desire, temptation, indulgences.
And never generalize that being free is to be always happy,
Often seen insanes and the idiots appear happy; but are they really free!
This isn't freedom if I run from one who does not meet my desire and go elsewhere.
I still remain enslaved by desire.
I am not free till I am detached and free from desire.
It will then least bother who can supply the ends of desire.
