FAQs
It teaches that bondage is often self-created: like a worm trapped in its own cocoon, a person becomes bound by possessiveness and attachment, which deepens saṃsāra and obstructs mokṣa.
By warning against clinging to family-identities as ultimate refuge, it redirects the heart toward the lasting refuge of the Divine; detachment (vairāgya) supports steadiness in Vishnu-bhakti and reduces ego-based possessiveness.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is ethical discipline in aparigraha (non-possessiveness) and mindful household duty without bondage-producing attachment.
