... German from being an Indian or you can become a Chinese from being an Italian, but you are simply changing prisons - political, religious, social prisons. Maybe for a few days the new prison would look like freedom - only because of its newness; otherwise it is not freedom. Free society is still an idea that has to be materialized. This whole slavery of man depends on conditioning. And conditioning...
... outside. It is not social, it is not political, it is not economic. His freedom is spiritual. By "freedom" he means a state of consciousness unhindered by any desire, unchained to any desire, unimprisoned by any greed, by any lust for more.

... ultimate goal of true religion - not God, not paradise, not even truth, but freedom. This has to be understood because this is Gautam Buddha's essential message to the world.

It is the ordinary mind working - the political mind, the ambitious mind. It is working to salute the higher. But you are the highest. Now the mind will say that you need not salute anyone. Now the whole Existence must salute you. You are the highest...
... is standing with a celebrated personality! Just think for a moment; if you were given the opportunity to have your picture taken, with whom would you, like to be photographed? ninety-nine per cent it will be a film personality, ten per cent a political minister and a stray chance - perhaps with a saint, a pious person but this is very doubtful. You may refute this statement outwardly but it is very...
... playing political games, trying to dominate the other, to reduce the other to a slave, to a commodity. That's what has been done all over the world. "Husband" and "wife" are nothing but ugly names. To be a man is good, but to be a husband is very humiliating. To be a woman is beautiful, natural, but to be a wife is institutional.
