कश्चित् निर्दयः चोरः कस्मिंश्चित् गृहं प्रविश्य जागरितं बालकं रज्जुभिः बध्नाति । क्षणाभ्यन्तरे बालकः बन्धनात् आत्मानम् अमोचयत् । कीदृशः चोरः भवान् यः दृढं बन्धुम् अपि न शक्नोति, कथं बन्धनं करणीयमिति दर्शयिष्यामि इति वदन् बालकः चोरस्य पादौ हस्तौ ग्रीवां च बध्नाति । ग्रन्थीनां शिथीलीकरणे चोरः न शक्तः । रज्जुभिः बन्धनं कर्मभिः बन्धनमिव । कर्मणां बन्धनेभ्यः अस्माभिः मुक्तैः भवितव्यम् ।

Once, a ruthless thief entered a house and tied up a boy with ropes, who had been awakened by the thief's arrival. Soon, the boy freed himself. The boy said, "What kind of thief are you, who cannot even bind firmly? I will show you how to make a proper bondage." Saying this, the boy tied the thief's feet, hands, and neck, with the result that the thief was unable to loosen the knots. Binding with ropes is like binding with actions. The boy is not bound by them. We must be freed from the bondage of actions.
