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.

- Remaining alertly aware and thought-free, with a still mind devoid of differentiation of Self and non-Self even while being engaged in the activities of worldly life, is called the state of sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi (the natural state of abidance in the Self when all differentiation has ceased). This is called akhandakara vritti, the "I" of infinite perfection as contrasted with the "I am the body" notion of those who have not realized the Self.
- Abidance in sahaja samadhi is the hallmark of a jivanmukta. With progressive development towards this state, an intensity of blissful peace is attained, leading on to the four successive stages of perfection in samadhi. Nothing short of sahaja samadhi will be of any avail in destroying the fearsome cycle of births and deaths.
- That realized person who abides in the brahman Self, and has lost all feelings of differentiation of self and non-self is the jnani or mukta purusha. Such a jnani is rare to find even by searching among millions of people. If one has the lucky opportunity of getting his darshan (personal view and contact) one attains purification from all his sins, and what is more, such a person's ego gets liquidated at once.
