Sage Ashtavakra said,
- Being pure consciousness, do not disturb your mind with thoughts of for and against. Be at peace and remain happily in yourself, the essence of joy.
- Give up meditation completely but don't let the mind hold on to anything. You are free by nature, so what will you achieve by forcing the mind?
- My son, you may recite or listen to countless scriptures, but you will not be establishes within until you can forget everything.
- You may, as a learned man, indulge in wealth, activity and meditation, but your mind will still long for that which is the cessation of desire, and beyond all goals.
- Everyone is in pain because of their own effort, but none realizes it. By just this very instruction, the lucky one attains tranquility.
- Happiness belongs to none but that supremely lazy man for whom even opening and closing his eyes is a bother.
