The Ashtavakra Gita:
Chapter #1:
"Return to Ashtavakra Gita Index"
Janak Asked: "Oh Lord, how does one attain to wisdom? How does liberation happen? And how is non-attachment attained? Please tell me this."
Ashtavakra replied: "Oh beloved, if you want liberation then renounce the passions as poison, and take forgiveness, innocence, compassion, contentment and truth as nectar. To attain liberation, know yourself as the witnessing consciousness of all these.
If you can seperate yourself from your physical body and rest in consciousness, then this very moment you will be happy, at peace and free of bondage.
You are not a Brahmin or any other caste, you are not in any of the four stages of life, you are not perceived by the eyes or other senses. Unattached and without form, You are the witness of the whole universe. Know this and be happy.
Oh expansive one, religion and atheism, happiness and misery - all are of the mind, they are not for you. You are not the doer nor the enjoyer. You have always been liberated."
