In the Buddhist Sense, free means to be free from all suffering, to reach inner freedom where suffering ceases to be. This is, of course, an ideal state of mind - but how do we reach it ? To reach inner freedom we must search for freedom with a free mind. It is like the saying, to catch a thief one must think like a thief. The sort of freedom one is trying to find is an absolute state - nothing less - infinite, unbounded and limitless. We are starting out with a mind that is finite, intellect-bound and already limited in itself. If we crowd this with all sorts of ideals, concepts,doctrines and judgments, the mind - which is already weighed down by its own burden - can never be free enough to experience truth in its entirety. I can only accept the truth or experience within the limits of doctrines, beliefs and concepts, which are products of intellect but not wisdom. The mind can never break out of the intellectual conditioning we are trying to transcend. By clinging to a specific system or format in the search for inner freedom, we will be able to experience only that which the system or format allows. Truth is infinite, unpossessed, unbounded. It does not belong to any religion, sect or system. All religions, all methods, all systems improvised by humankind are attempts to guide us on the path to Truth Often, though, The way is mistaken for the Truth https://facebook/NicoleKidmanOfficial/photos/a.422834156127.203825.344294141127/10152015447731128/?type=1&theater
