Freedom is a good idea. We all love freedom.
But then what are the contents of this idea? Is it just to walk on the road without bothering about the traffic? Is it doing anything that comes to the mind? That is considered as freedom because many think in that way. “Do what you like” is our idea, and we are following it to a good extent. The idea of restraint, discipline, control does not click. We think we know what is right, we like to do it and we do it. Then we feel very nice. Breaking the laws is today’s Mantra. No sooner does a businessman come to know about the laws than he is immediately busy trying to see how to break them, and to a good extent he is able to carry it out too.
But the entire structure of the universe is not based on this thought. Some days the sun will rise, some days the sun will not rise - it does not work like that. There are certain basic rules or laws and they have to be followed.
