Those who are free
don’t want anything.
They don’t want anything
from their mind, they don’t
want anything from their
emotions,
they don’t want anything
from anyone, and they
don’t want
anything from life.
They don’t want anything.
If you don’t want, all that’s
left is an incredible sense
of being free.
~Adyashanti
