Freedom Brings Happiness

December 23, 2025

“It is my observation that all human hearts are the same and that their ultimate desire is also the same.

This soul wants happiness, perfect and pure happiness, because only then will all desires end. As long as desire exists, misery exists, because with desire there can be no peace.
The total absence of desire brings happiness. It also brings freedom and liberation, because whenever something is lacking, there are both limits and dependency. Only when nothing at all is lacking is there the possibility of total freedom. Freedom brings happiness. And happiness is salvation.
The desire for total happiness and for ultimate freedom lies dormant in everyone. It is in the form of a seed. It is like a seed that contains a tree within it. In the same way, the fulfillment of man’s ultimate desire is hidden in his very nature. In its perfectly developed state, it is our nature to be happy, to be free.
Our real nature is the only thing that is true, and only perfecting it can bring complete satisfaction.”
