Ashtavakra Gita

Sage Ashtavakra said,

• In him for whom the ocean of samsara has dried up, there is neither attachment or aversion. His gaze is vacant, his behavior purposeless and his senses inactive.
• Surely the supreme state is everywhere for the liberated mind. He is neither awake nor asleep, and neither opens or closes his eyes.
• The liberated man is resplendent everywhere, free from all desires. Everywhere he appears self-possessed and pure of heart.
• Seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, speaking and walking about, the great souled man who is freed from trying to achieve or avoid anything is free indeed.
• The liberated man is free from desires everywhere. He neither blames, praises, rejoices, is disappointed, gives or takes.
• When a great souled one is unperturbed in mind and self-possessed at either the sight of a woman full of desire or at approaching death, he is truly liberated.
• There is no distinction between pleasure and pain, man and woman, success and failure for the wise man who looks on everything as equal.
• There is no aggression nor compassion, no pride nor humility, no wonder nor confusion for the man whose days in samsara are over.
