The Mind - excerpts of Ashtavakra Gita

The Mind  
excerpts of Ashtavakra Gita

The mind desires this and grieves for that.
It embraces one thing and spurns another.
Now it feels anger, now happiness.
In this way you are bound.

But when the mind desires nothing  
And grieves for nothing,
When it is without joy or anger
And, grasping nothing, turns nothing away. . .
Then you are free.

When the mind is attracted to anything it senses,
You are bound.

Where there is I,  
You are bound.

When there is no attraction, Where there is no I
You are free.
