REAL FREEDOM

Real vision

is that which sees

the One only

beyond the many;

Real valour

is that of the person

who has conquered for good

the senses five;

Real learning

is that which places

you in the state

of Deathlessness;

And real food

is what you consume

when you are totally

Liberated

and where you are not

under any command

and where you are neither

slave nor servant…

[Tamil poem by AVVAIYAR (12^th century A.D) rendered into English by Sage TGN]
