Krishjan

Chapter 7 — Shanti

Ashtavakra Gita

5 Shloka • Translation Only

King Janaka says - In infinite ocean of myself, world wanders here and there like a ship driven by its own wind. But it does not create turbulence in me.

In infinite ocean of myself, world rises and vanishes naturally like a wave by 'Maya'. But it does not cause any growth or damage to me.

In infinite ocean of myself, world exists like a dream. But I exist as supremely peaceful and formless.

In that infinite and stainless state, there remains no feeling of 'I' or any other feeling. Like this I exist, unattached, devoid of desires and at peace.

Surprise, I am pure consciousness, and the world is like a magic. How can there be thoughts of useful and useless in me?
