spirit, not in his body. The body is bound and all that is there in its frame
of reference – the life and even the mind with their multiple movements. The
spirit alone is free with all else that is there in its frame of reference. The
mind and the life bound normally, because tied to the body-scheme attain the
freedom of the spirit when linked to the spirit. The body is bound because it
is bound to the ignorant material nature. The body too can attain freedom, the
freedom of the spirit, when submitted to the spirit.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Freedom
is a divine quality; it belongs to the Divine Consciousness. Nothing below
that status is free or can be free – all are bound to the Cosmic Law, the
inexorable law of Karma, the chain of global Causation. You are free when you
are out of it and dwell with and in the Master of the causal ring.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.5pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>God
alone is free. You are free only when you are united with God and your will
merges in His Will and His Will manifests in yours.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.5pt;mso-line-height-alt:

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Freedom
does not consist in doing as one likes but in doing what the Divine likes. In
following your will you follow nature's will – nature's determinism; being part
of nature in following nature's will you have an illusion that you are
following your will and that you are freely choosing, whereas in following
God's Will you follow truly your own will, for in God you are one with God – His
Will your will, your will His.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Man
becomes the bodily creature when he cuts himself off from his spiritual nature
which is his true nature. In isolating himself from the Master of nature, man
becomes a slave of nature, this ignorant external nature. To attain freedom is
to rise out of this lower status into the domain of the higher status which is
man's own true nature, the Divine nature.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;line-height:
150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>The
body can be remoulded and reconstituted by the soul and self; the inferior
nature can be rebuilt into the mode' of the higher nature; when this is done
there is the reign of Supreme Liberty. The body's domain then in its formation
becomes a free expression of the soul, the Divine Himself.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;line-height:
150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>It
is the freedom of the inner being that brings about the freedom in the outer
life. The deeper the inner freedom, the truer and the more real is the outer
freedom.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.75pt;line-height:
150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>The
outer freedom does not mean the power to do whatever one chooses to do. True
outer freedom means to be able to choose the right thing to do. It means
finding the Truth and following the rhythm of the Truth. When one is the Truth
in one's being and infallibly expresses the Truth in becoming, when one is
identified with Satyam and Ritam, there is founded the true freedom and its
supreme status.</p>

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Freedom
therefore is utter self-discipline; for it means following the rhythm of the
Truth. To follow the rhythm of the Truth is to follow the Divine. In being
obedient to the Divine Will one acts absolutely freely, for obedience here
means complete identification with the Master.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

being one with the Divine Being, the consciousness one with the Divine

status of the perfect, absolute Freedom.</p>
