How it feels

A film that explores the Vedantic philosophical concepts of ego and attachment. It shows how these ideas bind a person to the cycle of rebirth, and how spiritual knowledge can lead to liberation.

What happens

Mamata (em sânscrito "ação do eu") é segundo a escola filosófica vedanta uma das duas alças da algema que ata as mãos da alma individual ao samsara, ou ciclo de nascimentos e mortes. Enquanto houver a noção de aham, ou "eu", "ego” existirá a noção de mamata, ou "isso é meu", "está relacionado a mim", que funcionam como algemas atando o ser ao mundo material. Tanto aham quanto mamata são destruídos com o surgimento de vidya, o conhecimento espiritual que leva a moksha. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
