Chapter 8

 

1.

When the chitta desires something, grieves for someone, catches, or lets go of something, and becomes angry or pleased with something – that is when the person is bound.

 

2.

When the chitta is free of desire, grief, renunciation, acceptance, joy and anger, it is mukta (liberated).

 

3.

When the chitta is attached to anything that is seen in this world, the person has bondage. When the chitta has no attachments, the person has Moksha.

4.

When the ahambhaava (identification) with the vyashti-samashti (individual-collective whole) is negated, there is Moksha. Wherever there is ahambhava, there is bondage. Know this and neither catch nor give up any expectation.
