"It is one of the most fundamental differences between the outer and the inner.

"The outer is ruled by laws:

"The inner is just freedom.

"Consciousness knows no laws. It is matter that needs laws. Without laws, the material existence is impossible. And in the same way, with laws, the world of consciousness is impossible.

"Consciousness can exist only in absolute freedom, with no limits, with no conditions, with no laws.

"Matter will immediately fall apart without laws, for the simple reason that it has no individuality. It has no center of being which can hold it together if there are no laws. Matter is without a center, or in other words, without a self. Just because there is no center in it, it cannot remain together unless it is surrounded by all kinds of laws, conditions, rules."
