When we come to human life, do we not find it the same too? However much we love our child and say, "Sit here, I would so much like you to be here", it will only stay there for a moment, and then it will say, "No, let me play." We say to it, "You should be sitting here", but it answers, "No, I don't like sitting here." Then we give the child a beautiful toy, and say again, "Sit here." Yes, for the sake of the toy it will sit for a moment; but the next it will take the toy and go away. "Let me have my freedom", it says. Does this not show that the purpose of life is freedom? As long as man is ignorant of this he is ignorant of the secret of his own nature and the secret of any other. Neither he nor anyone else can be happy, however much wealth or property, grandeur of position or palaces he may possess.
