Your mind creates and receives thoughts all the time. Sometimes
these thoughts are positive and some may be negative.

These thoughts may also lead to worry, unhappiness and fear. When
this happens, there is no peace of mind. When there is no peace of
mind you do not have inner freedom.

You may live in a free country, yet you may not be free. Real
freedom means to be above thoughts. It means becoming the master of
your mind. It is being able to think and accept into your mind only
the thoughts of your choice, and when there is no need to think, you
just stop thinking.

You switch off the engine of your car when you arrive to your
destination, because there is no necessity for it to keep on
running. Why not do the same with the mind (relaxing the mind)?

Imagine a state when your mind is calm. In this state you become
conscious of your inner self and know who you are. You feel your
inner power.

With the help of concentration, meditation, detachment, calmness,
and the ability to filter and sift thoughts, without getting
involved and swept by them, it is possible to reach and live in real
and true freedom.
