       If you were to take a random sample of people from the world, say half people who didn’t follow any sort of religion and the other half who were Christians, what would you find? Hopefully you would find that it is the Christians who are living in more freedom. Doing whatever we want, without any rules at all sounds really good. It is definitely enticing and appealing. However, we know that doesn’t work because with all things, within the Creation itself, there is order. There has to be order for true freedom. Order begets freedom. And this is what we find in the power of giving up control. When we try to control everything, we are a slave. We are a slave to our own passions and desires. Again, as I’ve already talked about at length, wanting something too much costs us freedom. The key is to be free of attachments. Remember what I said? “Nothing matters but God.” He’s the only attachment that does not hurt our freedom. However, being too strongly attached to all other things will cause us pain because the core essence behind true freedom is no attachment.
