39. Freedom

```

What is real freedom?

Real freedom is not to strike someone

At one's sweet will.

Real freedom is one's mastery

Over the attachment-world,

Over the temptation-world,

Over the uncompromising,

Unaspiring human world.

Real freedom lies in acceptance of reality

And in perfection of reality.

Accept, transform, perfect:

That is the real freedom. ```
