It is all a question of the mind. Bondage and liberation are of the mind alone. The mind will take the colour we dye it with. It is like white clothes just returned from the laundry. If we dip them in red dye, they will be red. If we dip them in blue or green, they will be blue or green. They will take only the colour we dip them in.
The mind is everything. A man has his wife on one side and his daughter on the other. He shows his affection to them in different ways. But his mind is one and the same. Bondage is of the mind, and freedom is also of the mind. A man is free if he constantly thinks; I am a free soul. By repeating with grit and determination. “I am not bound, i am free, one really becomes so-one really becomes free.
