I ask only freedom from obliging the masses,
My meaning, is serving people
To find favor in their eyes
And to carry out their will,
And even if I would make the effort all my life
I wouldn't achieve this.
And even if I would achieve this
It wouldn't be of any use to me.
I ask only for the submission to One
Which, with only a kittle difficulty, is possible to achieve,
And it will help me in this world, and in the works to come.
My intention, to find favor in the eyes of the Lord, Blessed be He,
And to carry out His wishes.
Since
Serving the Creator is the true freedom
And humbling oneself before Him is the true honor
By which man is made free from obliging the many.
Kuzari. Article 5,60,25
