मुद्रराक्षस - स्वातंत्र्य

इह विरचयन् साध्वीं शिष्यः क्रियां न निवार्यते
    त्यजति तु यदा मार्गं मोहात्तदा गुरुरंकुशः ।
विनयरुचयस्तस्मात्संतः सदैव निरंकुशाः
    परतरमतः स्वातंत्रेभ्यो वयं हि पराञ्मुखाः॥

If a student is going down the correct path, no one will stop him. If he strays, a teacher will punish him with love. In that respect every one is free as long as they are going down the right path (of Dharma). What more freedom does one want? We are happy in this type of freedom which is in our teacher's hands.
