We are convinced by the thugs around us that our intelligence is stupidity. It is tragic when you see how we are convinced that we are in bondage.
Liberation is what you really are. Even in the moment of your deepest apparent bondage, you are liberated. Even if you believe in all kinds of chains, you are still liberated. Bondage is just the thought of bondage.
Pay attention: bondage is equally the thought of liberation. Slaves are those who believe they are slaves and slaves are those who believe they are free. The beliefs themselves are the bondage; it does not matter what you believe in.
The influences upon you have made you believe that you need liberation. There are many shops that are selling liberation; they are selling you something that you already have, that can never be sold or obtained from outside.
