Defining freedom

Dear Editor,
I fail to understand why so many Western authors are quoted by our Indian media.
Vinoba Bhave too has offered a time-honored simple definition of what it means to be free (Swatantra) – know the real nature of ‘self’ and behave according to its dictates. Freedom does not mean what is, in reality, slavery to one’s senses and habits.
To be really free, one should practise the four-fold yoga – the Karma Yoga or the path of action; the Gyan Yoga or the path of knowledge; the Bhakti Yoga or the path of devotion; and the Raja Yoga or the path of meditation. The government can create an environment where it becomes easier for people to practise yoga.
