Maitri Upaniṣad 6.34
"The mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation for human beings."
What This Means:
Your mind is what binds you and what can free you - it is the key to both conditions.
Going Deeper:
This famous verse teaches that liberation is not about external conditions but about the state of mind.
How To Apply This:
Work on your mind - it is the only thing standing between you and freedom.
