Sage Ashtavakra- Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure on acquiring wealth?
- Truly, when one does not know oneself, one takes pleasure in the objects of mistaken perception, just as greed arises for the mistaken silver in one who does not know mother of pearl for what it is.
- All this wells up like waves in the sea. Recognizing, "I am That", why run around like someone in need?
- After hearing of oneself as pure consciousness and the supremely beautiful, is one to go on lusting after sordid sexual objects?
- When the sage has realized that he himself is in all beings, and all beings are in him, it is astonishing that the sense of individuality be able to continue.
