This is good’, ‘This is wrong’ both are worldly life; they both create bondage. And liberation is to know that both of these causes bondage.

Karmic bondage is through bhaav (inner intent), not through dravya (the action of mind, body, speech).

The worldly life exists because of ‘egoism’. Karmic bondage is because of ‘egoism’. If egoism can be stopped in any of the ways, then one can be free (from this worldly life & attain ultimate liberation).

Your life is built on egoism only. How can you get rid of it? You have to tell ‘us’ (the Gnani Purush and the manifested Lord within him) ‘get rid of my egoism’, and ‘we’ will remove it.

You attain a ‘temporary life’ through ‘egoism’ and an ‘eternal life’ without ‘egoism’. ‘Egoism’ is like the string that is wound around a top; it what ‘discharges’.

I did this’, this gives rise to egoism. ‘This is mine’, it gives rise to attachment (mamta).

Karmic bondage is built on egoism. Other than egoism, binding karma is not dependent on any other action. I-ness (vikalp) and my-ness (sankalp) are based on egoism and that is karmic bondage. In whatever the ego exists, that is its bondage.

The greatest violence (hinsa) in this world is that of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays – the ones that gives pain to soul).

The enlightened ones (Vitraag Lords) tells us to use the weapon of non-violence (ahinsa) against violence (hinsa). Violence cannot be conquered with violence. It can only be conquered with non-violence.
