Episode Synopsis
Bondage and Liberation
Ashtavakra said ---
1. It is bondage when the mind desires or grieves at anything, rejects or accepts anything, feels happy or angry at anything.
2. Liberation is attained when the mind does not desire or grieve or reject or feel happy or angry.
3. It is bondage when the mind is attached to any sense experience. It is liberation when the mind is detached from all sense experiences.
4. When there is no ‘I,’ there is liberation; when there is ‘I,’ there is bondage. Considering thus, easily refrain from accepting or rejecting anything.
