Question: How can I overcome the feeling of repression and understand true freedom?
Sri Chinmoy: True freedom is not an isolated or independent thing. True freedom is oneness with the Infinite; it cannot be something separated from others. God is both universal and individual, both unity and multiplicity. Just because we do not feel oneness with others, we do not have true freedom.
