समासक्तं यदा चित्तं जन्तोर्विषयगोचरे ।
यद्येवं ब्रह्मणि स्यात्तत्को न मुच्येत बन्धनात् ॥
samāsaktaṁ yadā cittaṁ jantor viṣaya-gocare |
yady evaṁ brahmaṇi syāt tat ko na mucyeta bandhanāt ||
(Maitrāyaṇīya Upaniṣad: 6.34.5)
“When a living being’s citta is fully attached to the sphere of the sense objects, if it were to become such [i.e., if it were to become instead fully attached] to Brahman, then who would not become liberated from bondage?”
