The conditioned mind creates bondage even in ascetics; the unconditioned mind is pure even in a householder. The mind that is thus conditioned is bondage; liberation is freedom from conditioning (inner contact, attachment or identification).

That mind which is unattached to anything, which is established in the peace of infinite expansion, is conducive to delight. He who stands rooted in self-knowledge is liberated here and now.

May 8

The mind should rest in pure consciousness as pure consciousness, with just a little externalized movement of thought, as if aware of the utter vanity of the objects of this world.

May 9

Let this truth be firmly established in you: there is no bondage or liberation at any time for anyone anywhere.

In the unlimited and unconditioned vision of the knower of the truth, all this is but the one self, the infinite consciousness, and there is nothing that can be regarded as the not-self....Be not deluded. Abandon false perception and behold the truth; you will never again be deluded.

May 11

This self-knowledge is not gained by explanations and descriptions, nor by the instructions of others. At all times everything is known only by direct experience....the consciousness devoid of the duality of the experiencing and the experience.

May 12

There is no liberation in the sky or on the earth or in the netherworld,; liberation is but a synonym for pure mind, correct self-knowledge and a truly awakened state. The complete absence of all desires and hopes is liberation. Until one realizes, reaches this true inner awakening or self-knowledge, one considers oneself bound and strives for liberation.
