We are already Liberated...

Liberation is our very nature. We are that.

The very fact that we wish for liberation
shows that freedom from all bondage is our
real nature.

It is not to be freshly acquired.

All that is necessary is to get rid of the false
notion that we are bound.

When we achieve
that, there will be no desire or thought of any
sort.

So long as one desires liberation, so
long, you may take it, one is in bondage.
