Freedom

Freedom

 

 

The truly blessed are those who, flinging freedom aside, have clung to Thy Lotus-feet;

 

In pain is their gain;

 

In defeat is their joy;

 

In sorrow is their dawn of awaken­ing;

 

In suffering is their victory!

 

And to those that smite them, they give their smiles!

 

And to those that persecute them they send out the benedictions of their love-filled hearts!

 

They are the truly free! They have broken all fetters-Aye, even the fetter of freedom!
