quotes 4

You are pure awareness.

The world is an illusion,  

Nothing more. 

When you understand this fully,  

Desire falls away. 

You find peace. 

For indeed!  

There is nothing. 

In the ocean of being 

There is only one. 

There was and there will be  

Only one. 

You are already fulfilled.  

How can you be bound or free? 

Wherever you go,  

Be happy. 

Never upset your mind 

With yes and no. 

Be quiet.  

You are awareness itself. 

Live in the happiness  

Of your own nature,  

Which is happiness itself.

~ Ashtavakra Gita 

...verses 15.17-19; translation by Thomas Byrom
