Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 112 · Verse 135
Neither bound nor free
Notice the ideas of bondage and liberation themselves: the sense of being trapped, and the hope of being set free. Hold them up and see them as images in the mind, like the sun reflected in water. The sun is not in the water. You are not in the story of your bondage, or in the story of your freedom.
Older line
“For me there is neither bondage nor liberation. These are phantoms that frighten the fearful. This world is mirrored in the mind as the sun is mirrored in water.”
