Maitri Upaniṣad 6.34
"Attached to sense objects, it leads to bondage; free from sense objects, to liberation."
What This Means:
When the mind is attached to objects, it is bound. When free from attachment, it is liberated.
Going Deeper:
The objects themselves are not the problem - it is the mind's attachment that creates bondage.
How To Apply This:
Practice enjoying life without clinging. Use things without being used by them.
