Verse 76
76. When one does not get that is, become associated with causes, superior, inferior or middling, then the mind is not originated. In the absence of the cause, whence the effect?
The Realised one remains detached from all material phenomena and worldly considerations. Through His higher understanding of the true nature of objects and non-duality the mundane world has no attraction for him.
With the mind (consciousness) not moved by worldly causes there will be no effects, no bondage, no seeking which leads to rebirth. Even a desire to do good deeds is a desire and bondage, be it even a higher cause it will cause a rebirth of sorts.
