The "Song of the Free", a classic text of Advaita Vedanta expresses the highest experience of the unfettered Self. Sanskrit text, transliteration and English translation. One of the purest statements of the supreme knowledge of Advaita, by a sage who lived over three thousand years ago.
The more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
