Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Only those people are entitled to freedom who understand and accept the responsibilities involved in it. And even such people are entitled only to so much of it as accords with the extent to which they possess this understanding and yield this acceptance. Outer discipline may go only if, and only so far as, inner discipline replaces it.
