There is a world of difference between a bird sitting and singing in a tree and a bird in a cage. It is only when the mind is free that the person can be free, not otherwise. With a free and quiet mind, we are able to live with a song of life, a song of love, a song of joy in our heart! Yet our freedom should not be used as a reckless license to do anything we please. In true freedom and happiness we like whatever we do, but we do not always do whatever we like.
