The mind's misery, ignorance, and worldly nature are attributed to the mind itself. The strong attachment to the mind and the world leads to a false sense of identity. The example of a mother's attachment to her baby demonstrates the depth of attachment but also highlights the ability to willingly detach during deep sleep. Reflecting on being the witness of the mind signifies separation from the mind, solving many worldly problems.
