To acquire freedom we have to get beyond the limitations of this universe; it cannot be found here.
Perfect equilibrium, or what the Christians call the peace that passeth all understanding, cannot be had in this universe, nor in heaven, nor in any place where our mind and thoughts can go, where the senses can feel, or which the imagination can conceive.
No such place can give us that freedom, because all such places would be within our universe, and it is limited by space, time, and causation. …
Until we give up the thirst after life, the strong attachment to this our transient conditioned existence, we have no hope of catching even a glimpse of that infinite freedom beyond.
