In this episode: Aang (3), Guru Pathik (3), Toph (1)
The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.
Like the four nations.
Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
We're all connected. Everything is connected.
This is the last chakra, isn't it?
Yes. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all your actions.
Let's do this!
The Thought Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy, and is blocked by earthly attachment. Meditate on what attaches you to this world.
[Aang imagines various images and memories of Katara]
Now, let all of those attachments go. Let them flow down the river... forgotten.
[snaps out of his meditation] What? Why would I let go of Katara? I... I love her!
Learn to let her go, or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe.
[outraged] Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her?! Three chakras ago, that was a good thing!
You must learn to let go.
I'm sorry, but I can't let go of Katara.
Aang, to master the Avatar State, you must opens all the chakras. Surrender yourself.
Okay, I'll try.
Now think of your attachments, and let them go. Let the pure cosmic energy flow. (He meditates again, beginning to lets Katara go. We then see him suspended above the planet, facing a giant, glows version of himself in the Avatar State. He begins to walk towards it and his tattoos start to glow. Suddenly, however, he hears Katara scream and sees a vision of her in chains by Dai Li Agents and begins to run towards her.)
What the- Katara is an trouble.
LET ME GO! [His tattoos fade along with the solid light beneath his feet, and so he falls back to the earth]
AAAAAAGGGHHH!!! [shocked] Katara's in danger! I have to go! [Aang gets up and begins to runs off]
No, Aang! Wait! Come back! [Aang slides down the roof before he stops at the edge] By choosin' attachment, you have no match to this locked the all chakras. If you leave now, you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all! [After a moment's hesitation, Aang runs off]
[Xin Fu and Yi investigate Toph's metal cage. They notice a large hole in the cage and Toph is nowhere to be found]
It's another 1 of her tricks!
(All I need is 1 thing; myself!) There's a giant hole in a box! How is that a trick?!
[from behind them] It's not! It's the real deal! [She earthbends the two men together, throws them in the cage, and metalbends the cage shut with her hands. She climbs on top of the box] I am the greatest earthbender in the world! Don't you two dunderheads ever forget it! [She leaps off the box and onto the path to Ba Sing Se. She uses earth surfing to traverse faster]
[inside the box] I'm going to be stuck in here forever with you, aren't I?
...I have to go the bathroom. [Xin Fu slams his head against the box]
