Whether we know it or not, we are all searching for one thing.

We are all searching for freedom.

In order to arrive at freedom, you must first understand what freedom truly is.

True freedom does not need to be fixed.

True freedom is not having any sense of suffering in your bones.

True freedom is not craving the fruit of pleasure.

To be free is not to be attached to anything.

What does being attached mean?

Simply put, attachment is need.

Need for respect.

Need for happiness.

Need for love.

Need for anything outside yourself that you believe will bring you peace.

We all need something.

We all are attached to people, things, or ideas.

Therefore, we are all prisoners.

One who needs is one who does not know what true freedom is.

The thing or person you are attached to is the puppeteer, and you are the puppet.

How the thing or person moves dictates how you move.

In its essence, that is attachment.

When one is no longer attached to the idea of being happy.

When one is no longer attached to the idea of being at peace.

When one is no longer attached to the idea of being loved.

Only then can one drink from the spring of true freedom.
