Freedom Quote by Shanti Christo Foundation
““Can you allow the thought to emerge in the mind when you arise in the morning: “I need do nothing. I don’t have to get out of this bed. I don’t have to go to an office. I don’t need to fulfill that order. I don’t need to say, ‘Good morning,’ to my mate. I literally need do nothing.” For how can there be the power of freedom to choose and to create when you are being governed by the belief of the world that you must be a certain way?””
