Can I live a life that is really free?

Not in terms of freedom as a concept,

As a pleasurable idea,

But the freedom as it is,

In actuality.

A free life,

Where the mind is enslaved to nothing,

Free from all the attachment.

This question is not a theoretical question,

But a very very practical question we ask to inquire.

If I say,

Yes I can,

No I can't,

Then we have already stopped the inquiry.

If I say,

I don't know,

But I'm eager to see,

To look,

To investigate,

To inquire,

Then we all are on the same way to the self-inquiry to really see whether it is possible to live a free life in actuality.

To start this journey,

We have to let go of all the burdens.

Such a journey needs a fresh mind,

A mind that is not burdened with anything.
