Ashtavakra Geeta Sayings Part 6....

[krish]

You are the one witness of everything,
and are always totally free.
The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness
as something other than this.

[krish]

Truly the yogi feels no excitement -
even at being established in that state
which all the Devas from Indra down
yearn for disconsolately.

[krish]

When the mind is freed from such pairs of opposites
as, "I have done this" and "I have not done that",
it becomes indifferent to merit, wealth, sensuality and liberation.

[krish]

I am infinite like space,
and the natural world is like a jar.
To know this is knowledge -
and then there is neither renunciation -
acceptance or cessation of it.

[krish]

Look on such things as friends, -
land, money, property, wife, and bequests as nothing
but a dream or a three or five-day conjuror's show.

[krish]

Have faith, my son, have faith.
Don't let yourself be deluded in this, sir.
You are yourself the Lord, whose property is knowledge,
and are beyond natural causation.

[krish]

Giving up such distinctions as "This is what I am",
and "I am not that", recognise that "Everything is myself",
and be without distinction and happy.

[krish]

Meditate on yourself as motionless awareness,
free from any dualism, giving up the mistaken idea
that you are just a derivative consciousness,
or anything external or internal.

[krish]

There is no distinction between pleasure and pain,
man and woman, success and failure
for the wise man who looks on everything as equal.

[krish]

Peace is everywhere for the wise man
who lives on whatever happens to come to him,
going to wherever he feels like,
and sleeping wherever the sun happens to set.
