The mind alone is the cycle of existences, the mind alone is the bond, the mind alone is liberation; outside the mind nothing exists.

The saṃsāra-bandhana-vimokṣa triad — existence-bond-liberation — is reduced to citta. There is no saṃsāra outside the mind that perceives it, no bandha outside the mind that binds itself, no mokṣa outside the mind that liberates itself. And the final phrase is the siddhānta: cittād anyan na vidyate — outside the mind nothing exists. It is not idealism that denies the world; it is recognition that “world” is citta-viṣaya — object of mind — not independent vastu. Liberation is not destruction of the mind but recognition of its true nature: not vṛtti-śūnya — empty of fluctuations — but cit-mātra — pure consciousness. The mind does not disappear; it reveals itself as it always has been.
