Ashtavakra Gita

Ashtavakra Gita is a dialogue between Ashtavakra and Janaka on the nature of Self/Atman, reality and bondage. It offers a revolutionary version of non-dualist philosophy. The Gita insists on the complete unreality of the external world and absolute oneness of existence.

Prakrteh Parah

Ashtavakra says:
I am infinite like space, and this world is unimportant like a jar.
This is Knowledge.
This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it.

I am like a vast ocean and the visible world is like its waves.
This is Knowledge.
This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it.

This world is imagined in me like silver in a seashell.
This is Knowledge.
This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it.

I exist in everyone like everyone is in me.
This is Knowledge.
This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it.
