06. It is all in the mind !!

SriRamaJayam

06. It is all in the mind !! 

“Mana eva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho.”
“As the mind, so the man; bondage or liberation are in our own mind.”
मन एव मनुष्याणां कारणं बन्धमोक्षयोः । 
बन्धाय विषयासक्तं मुक्त्यै निर्विषयं स्मृतम् ॥  ब्रह्मबिन्दूपनिषद्
mana eva manushyaanam
kaaranam bandha-mokshayoho
bandhaaya vishayaasaktham (Vishayasango)
muktyai nirvisayam smrutham(manah)

If you feel bound, you are bound. If you feel liberated, you are liberated. Things outside neither bind nor liberate you; only your attitude toward them does that.
“For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of liberation. Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage, and mind detached from the sense objects is the cause of liberation.” (Amrita-bindu Upanishad 2)
