Liberation

Reflection N° 110 - I was born as a slave

Freedom and justice are not within the reach of an incarnate man.

Course VIII - Teaching 6: Liberation

Men are enraptured when a new prophet appears and teaches about liberation and new horizons of life. How sweet are these words in their ears! This means to break with ancient rites, old traditions and time-honored customs; in short, to break chains of bondage and to go out of the cage that keeps them in prison!
