The soul-activity is animate all,
Impure thoughts are self-bondage; Soul-strength vibrates, infinite small, Gas-forms of bondage form the cage. 83. Understands not nectar or poison,
That it should cure or kill the eater; The soul gets fruits of what is eaten,
Thus bondage bears fruits bad or sweeter. 84. See one errant and one empress,
Without some cause, no results strange; Both human beings, unevenness,
Is due to bad or good bondage. 85. Fruit-giver God is not required, By nature bondage fructifies; No more the soul juice enjoyed,
The bondage falls, without surprise. 86. The place and things of various kinds, There are eternal heaven and hell; The truth is deep beyond your finds,
87.

It's here exposed in a nut-shell. The soul may bind and get the fruit,
But never can it get the freedom; Infinite time has passed, the root
Of birth and death is not undone. Good deeds give heaven and bad, hell,
The soul is errant and world, wheel; What state is bondageless, please tell, Try any way, result is nil.
89. As good or bad deeds give the fruit, Non-action too is fruitful, due; O wise! with talent see acute
There's freedom from the bondage true. 90. Infinite time has passed till now,
For good or bad ideas maintainThe chain of bondage anyhow,
At hand is freedom, break the chain.
