AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

When I see myself and my life so far, I have always wanted to be free…But what I see is that I am not…I want to be free in true sense…My activities currently are free in a sense where I don’t have to follow anyone and anything. But that is not exactly what free is…Could you tell me what is freedom in true sense๐Ÿ˜ฃ?

Alok Da
