A conditioned mind is never free because it can never go beyond its own borders, beyond the barriers it has built around itself; that is obvious. 

 

And it is very difficult for such a mind to free itself from its conditioning and go beyond, because this conditioning is imposed upon it, not only by society, but by itself. 

 

You like your conditioning because you dare not go beyond. You are frightened of the repercussions, of what society and the priest would say; therefore you help to create the barriers which hold you. 

 

This is the prison in which most of us are caught. How is the mind to be free of all burden?
