Sathya Upanishad - Pt. 19

Freedom
Q19:  Bhagawan!  What is freedom?

A: Freedom is not independence, for man is always in dependence!  "Swetccha" (Sanskrit word for freedom) is Swa + Itcha.  "Swa" means Atma, the Itcha, that is determination.  The thought that emanates from the Atma only represents "Swetccha" or freedom but not worthless behaviour.
