Freedom is the most divine phenomenon; hence never sacrifice your freedom for anything whatsoever, not even for love, because nothing is higher than freedom. Everything can be sacrificed for freedom, even life, but freedom cannot be sacrificed for anything. Even God can be sacrificed for freedom, but freedom cannot be sacrificed for God.

Buddha does not believe in God, but he believes in freedom. Mahavira never believed in God, but he believed in freedom. They could discard the hypothesis of God but they could not discard the hypothesis of freedom; in fact, freedom is the real God.
