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॥

अष्टावक्र उवाच -

तदा बन्धो यदा चित्तं 

किन्चिद् वांछति शोचति।

किंचिन् मुंचति गृण्हाति 

किंचिद् हृष्यति कुप्यति॥८-१॥

श्री अष्टावक्र कहते हैं - तब बंधन है जब मन इच्छा करता है, शोक करता है, कुछ त्याग करता है, कुछ ग्रहण करता है, कभी प्रसन्न होता है या कभी क्रोधित होता है॥१॥

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॥
