Just came back from an amazing advanced course at the ashram!! Guruji gave a simple but amazing definition of bondage. Bondage is that when you have it (or do it) you dont get any great pleasure, but when you do not have it (or dont do it) you are miserable. All addictions are bondages.
Liberation is when your state of mind is not affected whether you have something or not. You enjoy when it is available and dont hanker when it is not there. Dispassion leads to liberation. Thats what is said in the Upanishads - tena tyaktena bhunjeetha-- one who can readily give up really enjoys!!
Just make a list of all your bondages in life!!!
