When you know you are God, and that what is and what is not, are both imaginary, and you are at last free of desire - then what is there left to know or to say or to do? For the Self is everything. When the seeker knows this, he falls silent. He no longer thinks, "I am this, I am not that." Such thoughts melt away. He is still. Without pleasure or pain, distraction or concentration, learning or ignorance. His nature is free of conditions. Win or lose, it makes no difference to him. He is free!
~ The Ashtavakra Gita
