Freedom

Purity is freedom Purity is authenticity

It is a deep desire of the soul to be free. Often we think it is outside forces that oppress ~ societal structures, attitudes or other people. However it is inner oppression that steals my freedom. Even one of the most successful social movements in history did not result in freedom. Mahatma Gandhi's aim was to create a beautiful world, however once freeing India from British rule there was slaughter due to the inner oppression of fear, anger and violence. Meditation helps me discover and free myself from the internal oppression of anger, greed and selfishness. Today let me free myself from inner oppression.
