Spiritual Quotes on Freedom
- Liberation is our very nature. We are that.
The very fact that we wish for liberation shows
that freedom from all bondage is our real
nature. - Ramana Maharshi
- Without freedom from the past there is no
freedom at all, because the mind is never new,
fresh, innocent. It is only the fresh, innocent
mind that is free. Freedom has nothing to do
with age, it has nothing to do with experience;
and it seems to me that the very essence of
freedom lies in understanding the whole
mechanism of habit, both conscious and
unconscious. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
- The soul can grow only in freedom. Love
gives freedom. And when you give freedom, you
are free, that's what detachment is. If you
enforce bondage on the other, you will be in
imprisonment on your own accord. If you bind the
other, the other will bind you; if you define
the other, the other will define you; if you are
trying to possess the other, the other will
possess you. - Osho
- Spiritual freedom is freedom from all
wanting. . . When the soul breaks asunder the
shackles of wanting, it is emancipated from
bondage to body, mind, and ego. This freedom
brings realization of the unity of all life and
puts an end to all doubts and worries. - Meher
Baba
- The most fundamental message of Gautama the
Buddha is not God, is not soul... it is freedom:
freedom absolute, total, unconditional. He does
not want to give you an ideology, because every
ideology creates its own slavery. He does not
want to give you a religion, because religion
binds you. - Osho
- The ignorant man will never be liberated by
his repetitious practices.
Blessed is he who by simple understanding enters
timeless freedom. - Astavakra Gita
- There is only one central issue, crisis, or
challenge for man, which is, that he must be
completely free. As long as the mind is holding
on to a structure, a method, a system, there is
no freedom. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
- All life is an effort to attain freedom from
self-created entanglement; it is a desperate
struggle to undo what has been done under
ignorance, to throw away the accumulated burden
of the past, to find rescue from the debris left
by a series of temporary achievements and
failures. - Meher Baba
