Independence and dependence can be explained in terms of relativity. From the absolute point of view nothing is entirely dependent or independent. Independence and dependence can be explained in terms of relativity. From the absolute point of view nothing is entirely dependent or independent. Freedom is an internal characteristic. One who is free from his inner passions, looks for solutions within; he lives a life of action and is independent in the true sense. He is able to reply insults with silence, anger with love, arrogance with humility and faces assaults with calmness. This action is not inspired by the conduct of another man but is instead born out of his own internal thoughts and hence, it is an action. The spiritual meaning of independence is action and that of dependence is reaction.
