rhe movement of man •s life towards greater freedom. As a child grows up
his progressively diminishes, while his freedom and
reliance (he time. goal life seems to be headed in the direction of complete
liberty. For the highest function of freedom is io make us capable of governing ourselves.
Freedom does not mean liberty to do anything that one pleases. Freedom has no meaning
without responsibility.
All development is a process whereby we learn how to make the right choices. Hence it won't

Of freedom? The purpose of freedom is only one- it is perfection. The entire process of time
and development is far from the less to the more perfect, be it in moral, ethical, physical, mental
or spiritual perfection. Freedom is the condition in which the ideal Of perfection may be
realised. Complete freedom of choice means complete freedom to do what you want to do- and
is the only means to self -realisation.
The fully realised being is the highest ideal. not only because he fulfils himself, but also
because being fully realised. he helps others to achieve their true potential.
Freedom, rather than meaning unrestricted licence, means total self-discipline, for discipline
alone gives us freedom. Discipline is the means of achieving that which a free mind has
evolved. Discipline is not an obstruction to freedom. but a passage to it, for the more disciplined
you are, the freer you are to do that which you desire. And discipline must be imposed upon
you if you cannot discipline yourself. Discipline means order while freedom may exist in chaos.
And nothing worthwhile can be achieved when there is disorder and anarchy. Chaos has no
power to affect anything worthwhile. So, give up all ideas you may have: that freedom meant
doing anything that you fancy, for if you fancy disorder, you are not free, but bound.
