Steady Abidance in Self: Moksha

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).

• Only those who contemplate on Lord Siva-Self, the pure supporting screen of all manifestation, gain the pure experience of sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi. Apart from this devotion to Lord Siva (the pure Alert-Awareness-Self) there are no other means leading to liberation.
• The non-dual sole being existing in deep sleep conjures up a world in the dream state. Even so, the shadow world conjured up in the waking state is the work of the power, inherent in one's own Brahman Self. Abiding firmly in the experience of pure Brahman Self, one finds that the mind and all its confabulations are lost forever.
• One should remain firm in the conviction 'I am the Self' and reject all thoughts like 'I am this body' and 'This world is real'. If one maintains this habit unremittingly, this false belief will drop away even as a flower held in the hand slips away when one falls into deep slumber.
• One is solely responsible for one's own liberation or bondage, since the choice of destroying the restless mind or allowing it to roam at large rests with that one only. Therefore, one should conquer the restless mind by steady abidance in the pure thought-free Alert-Awareness-Self only. This steady abidance is moksha.
• You are the sole supreme Godhead, the Self. There is nothing apart from you. This, we declare to the ultimate truth after a complete analysis of all the scriptures. By the holy feet of Siva, we swear this to be the truth beyond all doubt. By the feet of the SatGuru, we swear again that this is the truth declared by the Upanishads.
• All charitable gifts, all pilgrimages to sacred place, all sorts of mantra-japam and worship of diverse Gods must be firmly given up in favor of steady practice of the teachings of this book only.
