Freedom Fighter - Jai Si Lond

Freedom….
Freedom is a matter of philosophy,
As no one can free you,
It is only you, who can free yourself,
To be free,
Free yourself from fear,
And you will fight for freedom.

Faith…
As it is said “He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all”.
So, always be in Faith,
Faith in the Truth, faith in the power of Love,
And the power of Goodness,
As good means action always reflects good means result.

Peace….
He, who seeks peace will isolate himself from others,
But he, who is in peace will live with others,
As only he, who is strong, is he, who can be in peace.

Humble…..
Humble without strength is a sign of under confidence,
Being strong without being humble is a sign of over confidence.
So, to balance your confidence,
Be humble yet strong,
And be strong yet humble.

Religion……
Whatever religion you believe in,
The more you understand your religion,
The more you will do for others,
The more you try to isolate from others,
Means the less you understand your religion,
The less you understand the meaning of “Life”.

Emotion……
The day that one can manage one’s emotion,
Is the day that one will gain strength,
And it is the beginning of one’s freedom,
As the more one can control one’s emotion,
The more the world will be with one.

Failure……
Weak one thinks he can’t fail,
So he works as hard as he can,
Because he fears failure,
Strong one thinks it is possible that one might fail,
But he is just as strong as he is,
And as courageous as he is,
To face his failure and to learn his failure,
As failure is not a sign of weakness,
But fear of failure is.

Fighter…..
You are freedom fighter,
As you are born to fight,
And as your ancestors were fighters,
Fight… fight for your freedom,
Fight for the freedom that you deserve.
