“The ultimate state of spiritual freedom brings wisdom, love, and spiritual power.”

—Harold Klemp, The Call of Soul, p. 77

Spiritual Freedom

“People who understand truth understand love and have love. These people are self-responsible. They are strong. They are strong in and of themselves. They go through the same hardships as other people, but they are the ones with an inner strength. Life will try to crush their spirit, but their strength comes not from any kind of material goods or a wealthy background. It is an inner strength. They love unconditionally. They love God because they know that God loves them. And anyone who truly knows this will find a great sense of freedom.”

—Harold Klemp, Our Spiritual Wake-Up Calls, Mahanta Transcripts, Book 15, p. 101
