Freedom - Part 7 - Two type of freedoms. Freedom of slavery and slavery of freedom. People mistake One for other.

There are two type of freedoms.

People happen to mistake
One for other.


************* 

Freedom of slavery.
And slavery of freedom.

Different like
Drowning and swimming.
Flying and falling.

In freedom of slavery,
One is:

Totally free,
But only to be engaged,
To be more and more
Consuming and depending,
And to identify himself only with
External possession or power.

He can’t stand alone
Without being engaged,
Without being dependent
And without identifying him with
External possession and power.

He can’t face himself, time and life
Except with a cover of engagement
Or external possession or power.

He can’t identify life and time
Without the protection of
Possession and position,
Engagement or his nature of being busy.

He can’t be calm
In any state which he happens to be in.

So, he would dress life and time
With all sorts of decorating covers
For which he will have to be
Purposeful and hardworking.

Their freedom is the freedom
To be engaged and to be possessive only.
