🌹 Escaping the chain of Bondage 🌹
Prasad Bharadwaj
There are seven links in the chain of bondage. Misery is the final link in the chain of cause and effect. Every link depends for its existence upon the previous link.
The seven links are:
(l) Misery, (2) Embodiment, (3) Karma, (4) Raga, (5) Dvesha, (6) Aviveka and (7) Ajnana.
If the root cause Ajnana (ignorance of the Selfl is removed by Atma-jnana or knowledge of the Self, the other links will be broken by themselves. From ignorance, non-discrimination is born; from non-discrimination, Abhimana; from Abhimana, Raga-Dvesha; from Raga-Dvesha, Karma; from Karma, this physical body; from the physical body, misery. If you want to annihilate misery, you must get rid of embodiment. [f you want to get rid of embodiment, you must not perform actions.
If you wish to cease to act, you must abandon Raga-Dvesha. If you want to free yourself from Abhimana, you must destroy Aviveka and develop Viveka or discrimination between the Self and non-self. If you want to get rid of Aviveka, you must annihilate Ajnana. If you want to get rid of Ajnana, you must get knowledge of the Self. There is no other way of escaping this chain.
