Hindu Sacred Text
Attachment The essential nature of bondage is nothing other than desire, and its elimination is known as liberation. It is simply by not being attached to changing things that the everlasting joy of attainment is reached. 10.4, John Richards, tr.
Attention / Awareness You are neither earth, water, fire, air or even ether. For liberation know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these. If only you will remain resting in consciousness, seeing yourself as distinct from the body, then even now you will become happy, peaceful and free from bonds. 1.3-4, John Richards, tr.Oh, how wonderful! I am awareness itself! No less!
