Mind alone is the cause of bondage for human beings, the scriptures say. They go on to explain how a desireful mind is impure and a mind freed of desires is pure. The objective is to give up all desires and “do nothing”. That is the direction in which we need to move.

Slokas chanted in the track

मनो हि द्विविधं प्रोक्तं शुद्धं चाशुद्धमेव च ।
अशुद्धं कामसङ्कल्पं शुद्धं कामविवर्जितम् ॥
(Amritabindu Upanishad 1)

न ह्यसन्न्यस्तसङ्कल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 6.2)

मन एव मनुष्याणां कारणं बन्धमोक्षयोः ।
बन्धाय विषयासक्तं मुक्त्यै निर्विषयं स्मृतम् ॥
(Amritabindu Upanishad 2)

आत्मसंस्थं मनः कृत्वा न किञ्चिदपि चिन्तयेत् ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 6.25)
