Whoever attains this inner liberation rarely finds it reflected in the
outer world of human societies. Only by going to the lonely places of
nature, to forests and fields, deserted shores and unbuilt-on hills can
he match the freedom felt. If he ventures into an ashram--however
reputed--the sense of entering a cage is produced. It could be that
this is partly caused by the mental pressure of its authorities or
inmates, by the smug if unexpressed exclusiveness. If he enters a
church, he is at ease only if he is the only worshipper; otherwise
sectarian pressure comes to awareness.
