The Concept of Freedom

People cry for freedom, freedom, freedom. For those who are true seekers, our prayer to God is just the opposite. We pray to God not to give us freedom because we may misuse it and ruin our spiritual life. We may destroy our life. Our philosophy is this: “God, if you really love me, then do not give me freedom. Only Your Will I want to execute. I want to fulfil You in Your own Way.”

This is our philosophy. We pray to God, “Do not give us freedom. If You give us freedom, then we may misuse the freedom and ruin our spiritual life.”

We have a special song where we pray to God not to give us freedom. The song says to God that if You really love me, then do not give me freedom. I want only to abide by Your Will, by Your Will.10
