Every day with the Master is a new life. Every response I teach you is a new way of living.

One of our brahmacharis who went away a few days ago was with me in his past life also. He went away because he wanted freedom. He is a slave to the idea of freedom! And the worst part is, this was the same pattern because of which he missed the Master in his last life also! The moment you see the Master and run away, be very clear, you did the same in your last janma (birth).

I told him, you are suffering with this freedom pattern for the last seven hundred years. You did not change that mind, though you changed many bodies. Sometimes with one body you go through twenty minds, sometimes without even changing a single mind, you would have gone through twenty bodies, twenty

births.

Why was this brahmachari more comfortable living outside instead of here? That fellow does not have any other problem – he just wants freedom. But the frequency of freedom here is too high for him! Outside, the frequency of freedom is very low. He is comfortable with the low level frequency of freedom. Understand, you are a slave, whether you realize it or not. You either live as a slave to your mind, and to other fellows who are in the same frequency as you, or you voluntarily become a slave to your own highest ideal of gaining complete spiritual freedom, the highest freedom. Either you live as a slave to your chosen spiritual discipline, so that you can be liberated once and for all, or you live as a slave outside, and remain a slave for lifetimes.

So do you want to be friend of the jailor who can liberate you from your prison, or do you want to be the friend of your fellow prisoners, who are suffering in the same prison as you? You can choose to be the friend of your fellow prisoners, but can they liberate you? Instead, work to create friendliness with the jailor who can liberate you.
