Ashtavakra Gita

Sage Ashtavakra said,

• Though in the eyes of the world he is active, the man who has shed action through knowledge finds no means of doing or speaking anything.
• For the wise man who is always unchanging and fearless there is neither darkness nor light nor destruction nor anything.
• There is neither fortitude, prudence nor courage for the yogi whose nature is beyond description and free of individuality.
• There is neither heaven nor hell nor even liberation during life. In a nutshell, in the sight of the seer nothing exists at all.
• He neither longs for possessions nor grieves at their absence. The calm mind of the sage is full of nectar of immortality.
• The dispassionate does not praise the good or blame the wicked. Content and equal in pain and pleasure, he sees nothing that needs doing.
