39. Freedom

What is real freedom?
   Real freedom is not to strike someone
   At one's sweet will.
Real freedom is one's mastery
   Over the attachment-world,
   Over the temptation-world,
   Over the uncompromising,
      Unaspiring human world.
Real freedom lies in acceptance of reality
   And in perfection of reality.
Accept, transform, perfect:
   That is the real freedom.
