Verse 4.35.35

नेह बन्धो न मोक्षोऽस्ति नाबन्धोऽस्ति न बन्धता ।
मिथ्योत्थितैव मायेयमिन्द्रजाललता यथा ॥ ३५ ॥

neha bandho na mokṣo'sti nābandho'sti na bandhatā |
mithyotthitaiva māyeyamindrajālalatā yathā || 35 ||

There is no restriction or freedom of the human soul, to or from any action or thing herein;it is a mere passive and neutral consciousness, of all that passes before it as a magic scene.
