To elevate the consciousness is the purpose of birth, for every person born on this earth. This is natural law – in no way should it be disturbed or caused to be disturbed. When we decide to abide by this law, there comes into being the concept of individual security.
People world over used to ask me, “Swamiji, what do you think of freedom?” I used to reply “you are asking about freedom to every individual - it is already there. What needs to protect such freedom is self-control. Only when every person is determined not to cause impairment to other’s freedom, will freedom be available to every individual. To think that freedom is an opportunity for an individual to do anything as he wishes, without any regulation, is a wrong notion.
Thus, if every one is to enjoy freedom in its true sense, it will be made possible only by the determination of every individual to respect, and protect, others freedom. Only then, individual security will prevail and be preserved.
