Bondage or Freedom? Your choice!

Nothing of the thick, earthly veil does last. The hero who can throw off the veil attains to his immortal status, where birth is not, nor death is. Of delusion is bom self-will as an executive force exercised on concrete Nature, so that out of a sense of want man craves for, and enjoys, pleasure and pain. Bondage to the body is falling from Truth ; repose in the indwelling spirit is Freedom. Why then this sorrowing and moaning at parting with the body!
