Ashtavakra Gita

King Janaka said,

• Using the tweezers of the knowledge of the truth I have managed to extract the painful thorn of endless opinions from the recesses of my heart.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is no religion, sensuality, possessions, philosophy, duality or even non-duality.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is no past, future or present. There is no space or even eternity.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is no self or non-self, no good or evil, no thought or even absence of thought.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is no dreaming or deep sleep, no walking nor fourth state beyond them, and certainly no fear.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is nothing far away and nothing near, nothing within or without, nothing large and nothing small.
• For me, established in my own glory, there is no life or death, no worlds or things of this world, no distraction and no stillness of mind.
• For me remaining myself, there is no need for talk of the three goals of life, of yoga or of knowledge.
