Sri Ashtavakra says: There
is bondage, as long as mind desires something, grieves about something,
sacrifices something, accepts something, is pleased about something or is angry
about something. 1
Liberation is when mind does
not desire, does not grieve, does not sacrifice, does not accept, is not
pleased or get angry. 2
There is bondage when mind
is attracted towards any of the visible things and liberation is when mind is
not attracted to anything visible. 3
There is bondage, as long as
there is feeling of 'I' and 'my' and liberation is when there is no feeling of
'I' and 'my'. Knowing this stay playful neither accepting nor sacrificing
anything. 4
