Sage Ashtavakra said,- The wise man does not dislike samsara or seek to know himself. Free from pleasure and impatience, he is not dead and he is not alive.
- The wise man stands out by being free from anticipation, without attachment to such things as children or wives, free from desire for the senses. and not even concerned about his own body.
- Peace is everywhere for the wise man who lives on whatever happens to come to him, roaming wherever he pleases and sleeping wherever the sun happens to set.
- Let his body rise or fall. The great souled one gives it no thought, having forgotten all about samsara in coming to rest on the ground of his true nature.
- The wise man has the joy of being complete in himself and without possessions, acting as he pleases, free from duality and rid of doubts, and without attachment to any creature.
- The wise man excels in being without the sense of 'me'. Earth, a stone or gold are the same to him. The knots of his hard have been rent asunder, and he is freed from greed and blindness.
- Who can compare with that contented, liberated soul who pays no regard to anything and has no desire left in his heart?
