The
most important reason for bondage is giving too much freedom
to the mind. For example, when an animal is tethered to a
post, it will not be able to go to another place. It will
not be able to show anger or violence or do harm to any
person. But if it is let loose, then it can roam over
various fields, destroy the crops, and cause loss and harm
to others. It may also get beaten up for the harm caused by
it. So too, if you turn your mind towards worldly objects,
it will descend to the animal or even demonic nature. The
same mind also can make you rise from the level of the
human to the highest level of Divinity. Hence regulate your
mind by following certain rules of discipline. In doing so,
you will not go astray and can maintain a good name and
lead a happy and useful life.
