00:00 Stuff like new ideas, creative thoughts, innovation through brainstorming.
00:05 These are meaningless terms in light of spirituality.
00:08 True freedom is not freedom of thought or freedom of limbs or freedom of speech.
00:14 True freedom is freedom of consciousness itself.
00:18 Consciousness is born in bondage.
00:21 Can you liberate it?
00:22 The "I" is the master of speech.
00:24 Now you want to have free speech when the master himself is in bondage.
00:28 Therefore in the name of free speech all kind of nonsense is uttered.
00:33 Is the speaker free?
00:34 If the speaker is not free how can speech be free?
00:37 Who is the speaker?
00:38 That "I" within.
00:39 Is he free?
00:40 He is not free.
00:41 Why?
00:42 Because he comes from the body and therefore he carries all the rubbish of the body.
00:45 Since birth, inwardly you are fearful, lustful, vengeful.
00:50 Outwardly, even if you are left free to express yourself,
00:53 that expression would actually be polluting and poisonous to everybody.
