"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Ashtavakra Gita

King Janaka said,
  • There is no emanation or return, no goal, means, seeker or achievement. I remain in my own non-dual nature.
  • For me who am forever unblemished, there is no assessor, no standard, nothing to assess, or assessment.
  • For me who am forever actionless, there is no distraction or one-pointedness of mind, no lack of understanding, no stupidity, no joy and no sorrow.
  • For me who am always free from deliberations there is neither conventional truth nor absolute truth, no happiness and no suffering.
  • For me who am forever pure there is no illusion, no samsara, no attachment or detachment, no living being and no God.
  • For me who am forever unmovable and indivisible, established in myself, there is no activity or inactivity, no liberation and no bondage.
  • For me who am blessed and without limitation, there is no initiation or scripture, no disciple or teacher, and no goal of human life.
  • There is no being or non-being, no unity or dualism. What more is there to say? Nothing proceeds out of me.

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
