A beautiful conversation between Maha yogi Ashtavakra and King Janak from Ashtavakra Gita.
A man who is satisfied is a pure sense and he who
is lonely receives the fruits of yoga practice and knowledge. The enlightened
person full of wisdom never any regrets in this world because he realizes
that the whole universe is complete by (his) self. Just as an elephant loves the
leaves of the Sal tree (Shorea robusta), the Neem leaves (too much bitter in
taste) do not delight in the same way, those who have love in the subject, do
not make the matter happy. The person who does not wish to
enjoy the bhog (fulfillment of desire) again, and does not desire of the not acquired bhog (fulfillment of desire), this kind of yogi is rare in the world.
Simple human beings desire for enjoyment and desire for salvation but who does not
desire for enjoyment and salvation such a man is rare in a rare world. Dharma (religion), money or
worldly matter and desire, salvation, life, death, etc does not bear any sense
in the heart of such a pious liberal hearted person. For him, receiving and renunciation
are the same. In which the world does not have the desire to merge and is not
hostile to its present state, that is, satisfied, the blessed man lives happily
in the livelihood as received. Whose wisdom is tinged with knowledge, that is,
the person whose doubts have been erased, while listening and touching, while
sniffing and touching, remains eternally grateful. Whose world has become dilapidated, it has neither craving nor
devotion, its deeds and senses fail (self-controlled) and the inner vision
becomes void, is not the subject to karma and senses. Such a person does not wake up or sleep, even
the eyelid does not open and close. That is, it becomes disgusted with the
body, what an ultimate condition of the free mind person from the world! The
freeman everywhere appears to have a pure intention. He is free from gross
lust and remains adorned everywhere. Seeing, listening, eating, receiving,
touching, smelling, walking, speaking, free from interest and harm, freeman is
always free. A free man is above condemnation and praise, he does not even have
joy and anger, he does not give, he does not take, he always remains
monotonous. Even seeing a beautiful woman and death present, one whose mind
remains motionless, which is calm, he is certainly free. Full of patience sees
no difference between happiness and sorrow, male and female fortune and
misfortune. He is always observant. There is neither violence nor compassion, no
cruelty nor lowliness. He is free from wonder and disgust. His world wanes. The
freeman does not have avarice or hatred. He is always detoxed and consumes
the un-received regularly. The freeman is not aware of the alternative of solution,
dissolution, interest, and harm. He is always free of mind and keeps the liberation
even. He knows that there
is really nothing, so worldly affection and ego reduced to zero. He destroys all
hopes (free from hopes) and does not indulge in karma. Whose mind has been free,
whose deeds, attachment, inertia, dreams have ended, what kind of condition
does that free man get, for which words are not available?
