The Ashtavakra Gita:
Chapter #3:
"Return to Ashtavakra Gita, Chapter 2"
Ashtavakra said: "Oh son, long have you been caught in the bondage of perceiving yourself as the body. Cut this bondage with the sword of knowing: "I am awareness" and be happy.
You are alone, void of action, self-illuminated and innocent. Your bondage is this: that you practice samadhi.
You are permeating this universe, you are the thread within it. You are pure consciousness by nature, do not become small-minded. You are without expectations, unchanging, self-sufficient, the abode of serenity, of boundless intelligence, and unperturbed. Hence have faith only in consciousness.
Know that which has form is false, and know the formless as unchangeable and everlasting. From this true understanding one is not born in the world again. Just as a mirror exists in the image reflected in it, and also exists apart from the reflection; God is within and outside this body. Just as the one all-pervading sky is the same within and outside a pot; the eternal everlasting Brahman is the same in all."
