liberated. Yet he who is liberated does
not transgress, for ‘the transgressor is
the slave of the transgression.’ (=Jn
8:32-36!, I-Jn 3:9) The Mother is the truth,

world calls liberated those to whom it
is given not to transgress. The
recognition of the truth exalts the
hearts of these to whom it is given not
to transgress. This is what liberates

place. Yet love is inspirational. He
however who has been liberated thru
recognition is enslaved by love for
these who have not yet been able to
sustain being liberated by recognition.
