The Ribhu Gita (ऋभुगीता) forms the sixth part of Siva Rahasya Purana. It details in about two thousand verses the dialogue on the Self and Brahman between Sage Ribhu (who in turn heard it from Lord Shiva Himself) and Sage Nidagha on the slopes of the Mount Kedara in the Himalayas. (source: wikipedia).

- With all objective knowledge banished, with no trace of thought or nescience, with all the three states of waking, dream and sleep wiped out, with all thought of death and birth abolished, and ever established in the spontaneous blissful state of Brahman-Self, the condition of the videha mukti cannot be conceived, and much less expressed in words.
- The continued repetition of 'I am Self-Brahman' constitutes the sole mantra-japam leading to mukti (liberation). All other mantra-japas connected with various gods should be firmly eschewed, as they aim at mundane objectives other than the Self. All other mantra-japams always entangle one inextricably in bondage of worldly enjoyments.
