Category: Ashtavakra Gita


Pure of heart, He desires nothing, Even in despair. He is content In the knowledge of the Self. With whom may I compare him? With clear and steady insight He knows that whatever he sees It is by its very nature nothing. How can he prefer one thing to another?

- Ashtavakra Gita 3:12-13

easy

“All things arise, Suffer change, And pass away. This is their nature. When you know this, Nothing perturbs you, Nothing hurts you. You become still. It is easy.” Ashtavakra Gita 11:1

Be happy


In the ocean of being There is only one. There was and there will be Only one. You are already fulfilled. How can you be bound or free? Wherever you go, Be happy.

- Ashtavakra Gita 15:18

the root and branches of the world



When you live without discrimination, Desire arises. When desire persists, Feelings of preference arise, Of liking and disliking. They are the root and branches of the world. – - Ashtavakra Gita 16:7

You are, you have…YOU

You are the endless sea in whom all the worlds like waves Naturally rise and fall. You have nothing to win, Nothing to lose. Child, You are pure awareness, Nothing less. You and the world are one. So who are you to think You can hold on to it, Or let it go? How could you!
Ashtavakra Gita 15: 11-12

You are pure awareness. The world is an illusion, Nothing more. When you understand this fully, Desire falls away. You find peace. For indeed! There is nothing.

Ashtavakra Gita 15:17
