avakra uvca
muktiicchasi cettta viayn viavattyaja
kamrjavadaytoasatyapyavad bhaja
Ashtavakra: If you are seeking liberation, my son, shun theobjects of the senses like poison. Practise tolerance, sincerity,
compassion, contentment and truthfulness like nectar.
-na pthv na jalangnirna vyurdyaurna v bhavn
eskiamtmnacidrpaviddhi muktaye 1.3
You do not consist of the elements - earth, water, fire, air or even
ether. To be liberated, know yourself as consisting of
consciousness, the witness of these.

If only you will remain resting in consciousness, seeing yourself
as distinct from the body, then even now you will become happy,
peaceful and free from bonds. 1.4
-na tvaviprdiko varo nram nkagocara
asago'si nirkro vivask sukh bhava
You do not belong to the brahmin or any other caste, you are not
at any stage, nor are you anything that the eye can see. You are
unattached and formless, the witness of everything - so be
happy.
-dharmdharmau sukhadukhamnasni na te vibho
na kartsi na bhoktsi mukta evsi sarvad
Righteousness and unrighteousness, pleasure and pain are
purely of the mind and are no concern of yours. You are neither

the doer nor the reaper of the consequences, so you are always
free.
-eko drasi sarvasya muktapryo'si sarvad
ayameva hi te bandho drarapayastaram
You are the one witness of everything, and are always
completely free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the
witness as something other than this.
-ahakartetyahamnamahkhidaita
nha
karteti vivsmta
ptv sukh bhava
Since you have been bitten by the black snake, the opinion about
yourself that "I am the doer", drink the antidote of faith in the
fact that "I am not the doer", and be happy.

muktbhimn mukto hi baddho baddhbhimnyapi
kivadantha satyeyay matis gatirbhavet
If one thinks of oneself as free, one is free, and if one thinks of
oneself as bound, one is bound. Here this saying is true,
"Thinking makes it so".
-tm sk vibhupra eko muktacidakriya
asago nisphanto bhramtsasravniva
Your real nature is as the one perfect, free, and actionless
consciousness, the all-pervading witness - unattached to
anything, desireless and at peace. It is from illusion that you
seem to be involved in samsara.

10
Meditate on yourself as motionless awareness, free from any
dualism, giving up the mistaken idea that you are just a
derivative consciousness, or anything external or internal.
-dehbhimnapena cirabaddho'si putraka
bodho'hajnakhagena taniktya sukh Bhava
You have long been trapped in the snare of identification with
the body. Sever it with the knife of knowledge that "I am
awareness", and be happy, my son.

ayameva hi te bandhasamdhimanutihati
You are really unbound and actionless, self-illuminating and
spotless already. The cause of your bondage is that you are still
resorting to stilling the mind.

- tvay vyptamidavivatvayi protayathrthata
uddhabuddhasvarpastvam gamakudracittatm
All of this is really filled by you and strung out in you, for what
you consist of is pure awareness - so don't be small minded.
-nirapeko nirvikro nirbharatalaya

unfathomable awareness and unperturbable, so hold to nothing
but consciousness.

Recognise that the apparent is unreal, while the unmanifest is
abiding. Through this initiation into truth you will escape falling
into unreality again.
- yathaivdaramadhyasthe rpe'ntaparitastu sa
tathaiv'smin arre'ntaparitaparamevaraJust as a mirror exists everywhere both within and apart from its
reflected images, so the Supreme Lord exists everywhere within
and apart from this body.
-ekasarvagatavyoma bahirantaryath ghae
nityanirantarabrahma sarvabhtagae tath
Just as one and the same all-pervading space exists within and
without a jar, so the eternal, everlasting God exists in the totality
of things.
