YOU ARE AWARENESS
excerpts of Ashtavakra Gita
The Self looks like the world.
But this is just an illusion.
The Self is everywhere. One, Still, Free, Perfect.
It is the witness of all things,
But this is just an illusion.
The Self is everywhere. One, Still, Free, Perfect.
It is the witness of all things,
Awareness, without
action, clinging or desire.
Meditate on the Self.
One without two, exalted awareness.
Give up the illusion of the separate self.
Give up the feeling, within or without,
That you are this or that.
My child,
Because you think you are the body,
For a long time you have been bound.
Know you are pure awareness.
With this knowledge as your sword
Cut through your chains.
And be happy!
