Ashtavakra
Bondage
is when the mind longs for something,
grieves about something, rejects
something, holds on to something, is
pleased about something or displeased
about something. 8.1
Liberation
is when the mind does not long for
anything, grieve about anything, reject
anything, or hold on to anything, and is
not pleased about anything or displeased
about anything. 8.2
Bondage
is when the mind is tangled in one of the
senses, and liberation is when the mind is
not tangled in any of the senses. 8.3
When
there is no me that is liberation, and
when there is me there is bondage.
Considering this earnestly, do not hold on
and do not reject. 8.4
