EGO-BOUND
As a plant becomes pot-boundman becomes ego-boundenclosed in his own limited mental consciousness.
Then he can't feel any moreor love, or rejoice or even grieve any more,he is ego-bound,pot-boundin the pot of his own conceit,and he can only slowly die.
Unless he is a sturdy plant.Then he can burst the pot,shell off his egoand get his roots in earth again,raw earth.
