- Reader of the sutras: Sw Anand Vimal.
- The sutra
- And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free?
- If it is an unjust law you would abolish, that law was written with your own hand upon your own forehead.
- You cannot erase it by burning your law books nor by washing the foreheads of your judges, though you pour the sea upon them.
- And if it is a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed.
- For how can a tyrant rule the free and the proud, but for a tyranny in their own freedom and a shame in their own pride?
- And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been chosen by you rather than imposed upon you.
- And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared.
- Verily all things move within your being in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape.
- These things move within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling.
- And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another light.
- And thus your freedom when it loses its fetters becomes itself the fetter of a greater freedom.
