True Freedom - Lessons from Swami Vivekananda

Philosophical Talk

“Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.” – Swami Vivekananda

We often think of ‘freedom’ as the power to act, speak, and change as we want without restraint. However there are times when after making these choices, we may realize that it was only temporarily liberating as it was under the influence of ego, desire or external expectations. This eventually make us a slave to our own weaknesses.

Swami Vivekananda speaks of the importance of knowledge of self in order to be free and speaks of Freedom as a universal cry of all beings. Let us explore what it means to be truly free from one of the greatest modern Indian thinkers, philosophers, and social reformers.
