Sage Vasishtha
Hence, O Rama, while yet remaining active in the world be without the mind and realize that you are pure consciousness. Abandon notions such as 'this is mine, that is he, this I am' and be established in the consciousness of undivided oneness. As long as the body lasts, consider the present and the future with and equanimous consciousness. Be forever established in the consciousness of the self in all states - youth, manhood and old age, pleasure and pain, in the waking, dream and sleep states. Abandon the impurity of objective perception, hopes and desires: remain established in self-knowledge. Give up notions of auspicious and inauspicious happenings, give up visions of the desirable and undesirable: know that you are the essence of consciousness. Realize that subject, object and actions do not touch you: remain as pure consciousness without any disturbance in it. Know 'I am the All' and live in the waking state as if in deep sleep. Be freed from conditions known as duality and non-duality: and remain in a state of equilibrium which is a state of pure consciousness and freedom. Realize that this cosmic consciousness is indivisible into 'I' and 'the other'; thus remain firm and unshakable.
