"Every man is born with an inherent impulse toward freedom and toward the search for truth which should lead, ultimately, to love, but to achieve true freedom, it is necessary to remove all obstacles such as prejudice, distorted views, hate, anger, greed, which leads to corruption. This means that reconciliation with others is a prerequisite to attain true freedom."
