IN this video, I talk about the cause of bondage, and how we can overcome it. For this I take a beautiful verse from Ashatavakra Gita which has been called the song of Self-Realization. All it contains is nothing but the pure and naked truth. It talks about your Real Nature which transcends this body and mind. It starts with the Discipline coming to the Master Ashtavakra and asking him, O Master how can I attain liberation, how can I be free from all bondage? So this verse is the reply from the Master Ashtavakra. The verse goes like this, यदि देहं पृथक् कृत्य चिति विश्राम्य तिष्ठसि । अधुनैव सुखी शान्तो बन्धमुक्तो भविष्यसि ।। The Master says, O disciple, If you can detach your attention from your body and mind and put it on the Consciousness that you are, then you would at once be peaceful and happy. So the Master asks his disciple to shed all identifications with the body and mind and rest in Consciousness, rest in Awareness and if he does that, he would immediately, without even a moment's gap, attain the Ultimate Freedom. For you to go beyond bondage, you first need to know what bondage really is? The bondage consists in identification with body and mind. This is the real bondage. You would find many Spiritual seekers saying that they're really attached to things and people, but this is really not the complete truth, this is the partial truth. Though they are attached to things and people, they have the knowledge of it, which is really very good, but they're completely unaware of the real cause of this attachment, they are completely and totally ignorant about the root cause of this attachment to people and things, they don't really where this attachment is spring from. The cause is their attachment with their body and mind, it's because they're attached to their body and mind, it's because they consider themselves as nothing but the body and mind, so no wonder, that they find themselves attached to people and things.
