In Reality, you’re never ever bound, you are always free. You are the still Source of ego-mind, you exist before, during & after thought ends.
Happiness is our birthright! Fulfillment of any desire only gives fleeting joy since mind rests in the Self temporarily. Mind destroyed(Manonasa), supreme Bliss alone remains!
A Sage has no locus or any form identity. His sole identity is as Being-Consciousness. He has no intention or motive & even when speaking, He is in Maunam (absolute Silence).
