Man as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.
As man, he is a machine with an idea of freedom; but this human body is the best and the human mind the highest mind there is.
When a man attains to the Atman state, he can take a body, making it to suit himself; he is above law.
This is a statement and must be proved. Each one must prove it for himself; we may satisfy ourselves, but we cannot satisfy another.
