MS24 - Real freedom

Today's food for thought revolves around the question - what is real freedom? It is often thought of as the ability to freely pursue our desires. We tend to identify with our senses, our body, and our mind. But attaining real freedom is about freeing ourselves from these aspects and realizing that our happiness does not depend on external things. As long as we are bound by our desires and the need to fulfill sensory satisfaction, we cannot call ourselves free.
