Sage Ashtavakra said,
- My son, you consist of pure consciousness, and the world is not separate from you. So who is to accept or reject it, and how, and why?
- How can there be either birth, karma or responsibility in that one unchanging, peaceful, unblemished and infinite consciousness which is you?
- Whatever you see, it is you alone manifest in it. How could bracelets, armlets and anklets be different from gold they are made of?
- Giving up such distinctions as "He is what I am", and "I am not that", recognize that "Everything is myself", and be without distinction and happy.
- It is through your ignorance that all this exists. In reality you alone exist. Apart from you there is none within or beyond samsara.
- Knowing that all this is an illusion, one becomes free of desire, pure receptivity and at peace, as if nothing existed.
- Only one thing has existed, exists and will exist in the ocean of being. You have no bondage or liberation. Live happily and fulfilled.
