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). Below are excerpts from that holy book.
................
- In the unitary, undifferentiated still ocean of Existence-Awareness-Self, body, senses, mind, intellect and jivas are nothing but evanescent ripples not apart from that sole Self.
- The universe of name and form, the embodied creatures and their creator, mind, desire, karma, misery and everything other than the Self, are merely thought formations projected by the powers of the Self on its screen - Self.
- The state of firm abidance in that thought-free alert Awareness-Self, constitutes integral perfection, yoga, wisdom, moksha, sahaja samadhi, the state of Siva and the state of Atman-Self, which scriptures proclaim by the title of Brahman.
- There never was a mind nor any of its countless forms like world, jivas etc. There isn't the least doubt that all these are the form of the eternally undifferentiable Supreme Brahman Self. This is the Truth. The one who hears this great secret diligently and understands completely, abides as Brahman-Self.
