Freedom

Swami Sri Yukteswar to Paramahansa Yogananda: "Freedom of will does not consist in doing things according to the dictates of prenatal or postnatal habits or of mental whims, but in acting according to the suggestions of wisdom and free choice. If you tune in your will with mine [the wisdom-guided will of the guru], you will find freedom."

--Swami Sri Yukteswar, in SRF Lessons
