Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"One who asks for independence is a beggar. One who knows that it is an illusion is a king."
The mind, intellect, and ego chase independence, often leading to misery and a stronger ego.
Dependence is both a harsh reality and an illusion. True freedom lies in realizing our oneness.
From birth to old age, life is about dependence. But the true caretaker is always the Divine.
Independence is found within. When we move inward, we see our interdependence with all.
Real freedom is realizing we are beyond our roles. That's the true essence of independence.
