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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
