Ashtavakra Gita

Sage Ashtavakra said:

• You are not bound by anything. What does a pure person like you need to renounce? Putting the complex organism to rest, you can go to your rest.
• All this arises out of you, like a bubble out of the sea. Knowing yourself like this to be but one, you can go to your rest.
• In spite of being in front of your eyes, all this, being insubstantial, does not exist in you, spotless as you are. It is an appearance like the snake in a rope, so you can go to your rest.
• Equal in pain and in pleasure, equal in hope and in disappointment, equal in life and in death, and complete as you are, you can go to your rest.
