People talk about freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press etc. Do they really free us? Unfortunately, the truth is far beyond. Then, what is real freedom? Real freedom is not expecting anything in return from anybody. Can this be achieved? Yes..Lao Tzu and Shri Krishna show us the royal road to freedom. They show us how to win by losing...how to serve without taking credit..how to wage war without enmity...and that is the icing on the cake. Lao Tzu says 'be a guest' or live like a 'guest'. A guest stays for a short period of time. He will be accommodative and non-demanding and accept with gratitude whatever is offered by his host. We are here for a short period of time, just like the guest. In this period of our sojourn on this earth, if we develop the qualities of a guest just mentioned, we enjoy peace. The host also becomes more gracious with such a guest. They are comfortable with each other and such comfort in each others' presence is divine communion.
