King Janaka said,
- Realizing my supreme self-nature in the Person of the Witness, the Lord, and the state of desirelessness in bondage or liberation, I feel no inclination for liberation.
- The various states of one who is free of uncertainty within, and who outwardly wanders about as he pleases like an idiot, can only be known by someone in the same condition.
Sage Ashtavakra said,
- While a man of pure intelligence may achieve the goal by the most casual of instruction, another may seek knowledge all his life and still be bewildered.
- Liberation is distaste for the objects of the senses. Bondage is love of the senses. This is knowledge. Now do as you please.
- This awareness of the truth makes an eloquent, clever and energetic man dumb, stupid and lazy, so it is avoided by those whose aim is enjoyment.
- You are not the body, nor is the body yours, nor are you the doer of actions or the reaper of their consequences. You are eternally pure consciousness the witness, in need of nothing - so live happily.
