ASTAVAKRA GEETA
PREFACE
Astavakra Geeta is a wonder full scripture for all those who desire
salvation. This is collection of 298 verses authored by great sage
Astavakra in twenty chapters. Every chapter is its own kind and
complete in itself. One can get direct description of truth.

Astavakra means a sage with eight bends in his body. He must

have been victim of disease like polio in his childhood and
unfortunately it has not been treated properly. On account of this
his body got twisted in eight places and he suffered throughout
his life. A story with regard to his curved body is like this: ­
Astvakra father was a great scholar and well at home in Vedas.

When Astavkra was still in womb of his mother and his father a great
Vedic scholar used to chant Vedic mystic words loudly. Astavkra used
to listen those sacred tests within womb of his mother. One day from
the mother’s womb Astavkra said there is no knowledge in scriptures
but verses only. Astvakra said real knowledge is within and words
cannot carry truth. No sooner father of Astavkra heard these words got
angry. He cursed the boy in the womb to get twisted from eight places.
That is the reason why he was called Astavkra.

One more story pertaining to the wedlock of Astavkra which is also

almost inedible. Vadaanya a sage, father of a beautiful girl Suprabha,
decided to celebrate her marriage. Astavkra came to know and
expressed his desire to get married her before his maternal uncle
Swetkettu. Swetkettu informed this to Mahrishi Vadaanyya, Maharishi
told Swetkettu let Astavkra travel north Himalya and get blessing of
an old lady sage. Then he will arrange marriage of Suprabha with

``

Astavakra . It was very clear how a person like Astavkra with

eight bends in his body will travel north Himalya.

It means neither this condition will be fulfilled nor Suprabha gets

married to such an ugly person; however it is so happened
Astavkra made it possible, fulfilled the condition and finally married
to Suprabha. But one well known story about Astavkra is: ­

King Janak invited all the scholars to his court for debate on
divinity. Father of Astavkra also participated. Debate started and
went on till evening. Suddenly Astavakra who was at home, got
informed that his father may not win in the debate. Though he
defeated almost all but he lost hopes in discussion with one.

Astavakra came to court where debate was going on. It was almost
decided that his father was to lose. Astavkra entered the court in
eleventh hour. On seeing his twisted body all great scholars,
participating in debate laughed at him. Astavakra also laughed
loudly.

King Janak could not understand why Astavakra was laughing. King
asked Astavakra: I can understand why all laughing but I am not able
to understand why are you laughing? Astavakra said – O King; why
have you arranged this meeting with all these cobblers? He declared
all those present were cobblers. King Janak with great surprise asked
Astavakra why he said so. Astavkra replied –very simple.

My skin is visible to them but not me. Look at light existing in me.
In fact it was a shocking announcement. Every courtier was taken
aback. They have had no word to express their feeling. Their faces
turned pale. King stood and bowed to him. King said: ­ you are
great. You have really impressed me. Please step in. Your
knowledge is really wonderful. We would like to listen more.
Please bless us with more valuable information about spirituality.

``

This Astavkra Geeta contains a lot of information pertaining to

the truth of divinity. Astavakra puts up a thought in front of us;
there is no value of body. Value is of soul. Value is of recognizing
observer and witness within. This is immortal. Astavakra says you
stand beyond body. Leave all running and don’t keep the desire of
salvation even in the heart. Leave all desires. Very moment there
will be rain of supreme pleasure. You are standing with the
umbrella of desire in hand hence you are not able to bath.

After the blessing of Astavakra , Janak could not remain same as he was.
Janak totally transformed “himself” from body to soul. He became observer
of his body and he was known as “Videh raj” means body less.

``

CHAPTER ONE

JANAK ASKED TO ASTAVAKRA OH LORD; How does salvation

happen and how one can get in non­attachment and how does one
can get in divinity.

ASTAVAKRA says god is known by wisdom which liberates you from

all kind of bondage. Religious people who talks about liberation are
not looking librated. All are bounded to something or other.
You attain everything but if you have not attained freedom, you
have attained nothing. Salvation has unique music. It simply
means a freedom which has no barrier.
1. Get rid of desires and renounce enjoyments.
Astavakra says; ­ OH BELOVED, if you want liberation, get rid of
passions as like poison and inherit forgiveness, satisfaction,
innocence, kindness and truth as like nectar.2
The meaning of poison is, if someone consume he die. We are
dying again and again consuming passions, ego, anger, hatred and
jealousy. Amrit means nectar, which gives you life and immortality.
The anger is poison. The forgiveness is bliss. Cruelty is poison,
KINDNESS IS NECTOR.
SATISFACTION; ­ The worm of dissatisfaction goes on eating
everything. It goes on spreading poison in the heart like cancer.
Satisfaction means “­Required nothing. Whatever is with
me is enough. .
2. You are not body. You are witness.
Astavkra says: ­ You are neither earth nor air, fire, water or either.
You have no face in all these. You are nothing but consciousness. To
attain liberation know you as the Witnessing consciousness of all. 1.3

``

There is no more valuable key than witnessing. Be the observer,

whatever happens let it happen. There is no need to interfere.
Body is composed by panch tatav. You are lamp within.
If you can separate yourself from the body and rest in consciousness,
this very moment you will be happy, at peace and free of all bondage.

2. Divorce the body and rest in consciousness.

It is a revolution from the very roots. If you can see the fact, that I am
not the body, I am not the doer. I AM THE ONE HIDDEN WITHIN.

I am the one eternal and everlasting. There is nothing to do.

You are itching to do something that itch needs to be satisfied.

Where are you running in search of God? Stop; and relax. God is not
attained by running. It is hidden within the runner. God is not attained
by doing; nothing needs to be done to attain the divine. Just be the
observer and relax. 1.4

You are not a Brahman or of any caste; you are not in any of
the four stages of life. You are not perceived by the eyes or
other senses. You are unattached and without form, you are the
witness of the whole universe, know this and be happy.1/5

Astavakra is cutting the roots of all the old beliefs. We are no Brahman,
kshatriya or Sudra. These are all non sense. These are all projections.
This is all play of politics and of super society. You are simply divine, you
are the observer, the witness who is within and witnessing all deeds
of body.

``

Janak asked; how does salvation happens and how non­attachment is to

be achieved and how can liberation happen and how does one can get in
divinity? Astavakra says it can happen right now. There is no need to
delay even a single moment. No need to postpone it for tomorrow.
The happening does not occur in the future, it only happens now
because there is no time except now. Do not leave it for tomorrow.
It is cunningness of mind. The mind argues how it can happen so
fast, we have to get ready for it. These are all excuses, for not
accepting that you can do it.
You are the witness of the whole universe know this and be happy
right now. Astavakra religion is not in installments. It is cash in
hand, very hard cash.
Religion – Pain and pleasure all are illusion.
Oh expensive one, religion and atheism, happiness and misery,
all are of mind and heart. They are not for you. You are neither
doer (body) nor enjoyer. You are always in liberation (soul). 6

Understand it and changes will start to take place automatically.

There is nothing to do except to understand. If you can listen
thoroughly with your whole mind, it is enough.

Nothing is going to happen by doing. You do not have to extract

any thing from it. Be liberated right now. Be enlightened this very
moment. You are the witness of whole world, unattached and
without form. Know this and be happy.

There is no need to wait. It is a leap. There is no need to climb

up step by step. It can happen this very moment or otherwise it
will never happen, if you left it for tomorrow.

``

If you allow Astavakra his statements will penetrate in to your heart

like an arrow. Awakening will happen automatically.
Listening means you are not doing. It happens while you are
listening. It is not an act. It is happening.
When there is no desire within means meditation. If you are
doing meditation to gain some thing it is waste. The day you do
not demand anything is the day when everything happen.

A yogi is also not desire less because he seeks new spiritual

pleasure. He is not different. He still has the desire to enjoy. He
could not find it in the world so he searches in the divinity but the
search is continued. As long as there is something to do, tension
continues. You have done lot of running, at least now you should
stop.
Relaxation is the key to meditation. Efforts are the key to tension.
It is very easy to wake up for someone who is sleeping but the
man who is lying awaken with open eyes and pretending he is
sleeping to, how will you make him to awake?

No one can awake you. You only can awake yourself. Awake the
pure consciousness within. Look at the things as an on looker;
don’t think, because thinking means processes of the mind have
started. Astavakra is a messenger of conscious and witnessing
.
If there is happiness, just observe it. If there is un­happiness,
just observe it. Let both come and go. Do not let them
overpower you. Be identified with only one thing that you are the
observer, you are the witness.

``

3. There is no other one.

Astavakra said; you are the one observer of all and always free.
You are presuming someone else as observer not you’re self. 7
 How much do you know of your ‘self’? If you want to know your ‘self’
you will have to stop looking for image in the eyes of others. If you
want to know your soul, you will have to leave other people behind.

A spectator is one whose eyes are on others and the observer

is one whose eyes are on him. To be a spectator is one kind of
‘self’ forgetting? Very rare someone is awakened to see within.

A person who is free from doing has no desire to exhibit himself to

others. He knows the Trap of seeing and showing is false. He attains
non attachment and freedom from all desires. Even if you inwardly
wish people to think you virtuous and then you know that you are still
caught in the same old web. If you wish in your heart that people know
you are religious, you are still caught in the same old web.

I have heard that there was a Seth who built his bath room with
mirrors. He put mirror after mirror inside the bath room and once
his dog was shut in that bath room. He was left inside by mistake.
You can understand that dog’s condition. He was seeing his face
in the mirror and thinking some other dog he was barking on him,
scratching on the mirror. It is the same with man’s condition.
The dog barked but there was only mirror and in mirror after
mirror. Dog barked back. The sound returned to him. This was his
own barking echo. He barked all night and chased the mirror and
bathed in his own blood.

``

No one else was there. He was alone. He was found dead

in the morning. There were blood stains all over the place.

His story is the story of man. There is no other one. Other one does
not exist. Here is only one in all of us but this will not be understood
until you have caught hold of that one within. You are the observer of
all. Your bondage is that in you see someone else as the observer.

Liberation is to know your ‘self’ as observer. You try this

experiment. You are looking a tree. Then gradually, continuing to
look at the tree, try to see that one who is looking at the tree­ just
a little adjustment, ordinarily the arrow of consciousness moves
towards the tree. Let this arrow move in both directions. It should
see tree and at the same time try to see that one who is looking.
Do not forget the seer. Catch the seer more and more. You will
miss it again and again, try to catch the one who sees and as the
seer comes in to your grasp. Do it again, if this will happen for few
moments this will change your whole life. The experience is not
the sense organs but someone hidden behind the sense organs.

4. Non doer ship leads you to divinity.

I do, this is the black snake of your ego. I am not the doer,
drink this divine nectar Of trust and be happy. 8/1

Your belief is you are the doer. You become what you believe.
Your belief is you are body. You have never thought you Can be
something else than body.

I AM DOER. This is projection and we create our ego in accordance.

The doer means ego. So bigger is the doer, bigger is ego.
Everything is happening by itself. We unnecessarily bring
ourselves in between?

``

We don’t come on the earth by our own and we don’t go from the
earth by our own wish. Before birth no one asked us whether we are
interested to be born. Before death no one will asks us whether we
interested to die. I am doer in between this span of life is illusion.
We create our ego in illusion. The disease of ego is very big.
I am pure awareness. Having buried the forest of ignorance
with fire of certainty, you are happy and beyond sorrow. 9/1
All unhappiness disappears when you experience that you are
pure awareness.
I am witness. I am observer. We cannot see what we have. In this mortal
body the lamp of consciousness is burning. Just you try to assess the
value of this lamp. The more you desire more ­ unhappy you are.
I have heard; a man went to the river to end his life. A Sufi Fakir was
sitting on the river bank and he asked that man,’ what are you doing?
The man was just about to jump in the river. He said; don’t stop me. It
is too much. I never got any thing I wanted. I always got what I wanted
to avoid. God is against me, so why should I continue the life. The
Fakir said, wait and stay one more day. You may die after one day.
What is the haste? You say you don’t have anything well in your life.
The man replied; nothing at all, if I had anything, why would I come to
end my life? The Fakir said; come with me. The king of this state is
my friend. The Fakir took him to the king and whispered something in
the ear of the king. The king said; I can offer you a million rupees if
you want to sell both of your eyes. Man replied what you are talking. I
am not going to sell my eyes at any cost.
The Fakir said; look you are not ready to sell your eyes for millions of
rupees and last night you were going to kill yourself. You said you did
not have any thing. You have the eyes worth of millions of rupees.
Heart and kidney and other organs of the body worth of
millions of rupees and you are saying you have nothing.
We cannot see what we have. This is a great miracle. Your desire never
ends there for you should not desire anything, be happy with what you
have. Desire brings sorrow. As long as you identify yourself with anything,
ego will arise. Ego is your identification with everything. As

``

soon as you drop all identification, you will be happy. You say I am
pure awareness. This certainty comes from experience. You do
experiment, trust will come from experience. Burn the forest of
your ignorance with The fire of certainty and be happy.

You are the bliss, ultimate bliss within. This imaginary world is
projected like a snake and a rope. Know this and live happily. 10/1
Worldly sufferings are misunderstanding of awareness. Some time
you must have seen a piece of rope lying on the road in the dark and
immediately idea of a snake comes in mind. When idea comes a rope
is projected like a snake. You run, scream and shout. You might fall
when running. Later on you will find it was a rope. Then you laugh.

If you have small lamp of awareness, even in the darkest night

you can see rope is a rope, not a snake. Awareness is the key.
You have the key. You have the light. You have kept the light
covered unnecessary, take the cover off and live happily.

See everything but do not forget the one who sees. Hear
everything but do not forget the one who hears. Do everything but
remember you are not the doer.
Have you seen the wheel of a moving vehicle? The axel remains
stand still while the wheel moves. In the same way the wheel of
life moves but the axel remains still. You are the axel.
5. We become as we think.
He who considers himself free is free and he who considers himself
bound is bound because AS YOU THINK SO YOU ARE. 11/1
The soul is the witness, all pervading, free from doing, absolutely
alone, none attached, desire less, peace full. Because of illusion it
looks like the world. 12/1

``

Freedom is not the result of action. It is the fruit of knowing. He who

thinks; I am bounded, he is bounded. He who thinks he is liberated
is liberated. Freedom will not come from your doing. Freedom
comes from knowledge. YOUR THINKING HAS CREATED YOUR
WORLD. Change your thinking, wake up; see in a new way.
Everything will remain same, only the way of your seeing will
change.

6. You have to leave belief.

I am an individually body – a projected life. Drop this illusion and
experience that you are conscious. You are not the revolving wheel
of life. You are the axel in the middle. The axel is unmoveing.13/1

Awakening is the key. Nothing is to do. No meditation, no yoga, no

chanting. Just wake up. Awake up the feeling that you are the
unchanging conscious. What you have believed up to now is
nothing but reflected projection. It is your belief. People around you
share the same belief. In this way your opinions are strengthened.
Ultimately man borrows his opinion. You learn from others. All are
unhappy so you are unhappy.

There is a story in Ramakrishna life. He was worshiping Mother Kali

but every time he experienced duality, the experience of oneness
never happened to him. He was in anguish. He started to search for
for a non dualist, someone who could show him the path. A
Paramhans named Totapuri was passing by. Ramakrishna invited him
to stay with him and asked to help to attain oneness with the divine.
Totapuri said; what is the difficulty. You believe there are two, you and
Maa kali so there are two. Drop the belief Ramakrishna said; but to
drop this belief is very difficult. I have lived with it my whole life.
When I close my eyes, image of kali appears. Every time I forget that I
have to become one with Divine. As soon as I close my eyes there
are two. When I try to meditate it becomes two. Kindly help me out of
this. Totapuri said; when the image of kali comes in front of you, pick
up a sword and cut her in to pieces. Ramakrishna said; where will I
find the

``

sword. Totapuri said from where you brought this image of

kali. So bring a sword from the same place. She is imaginary.
No one see kali when they close their eyes. A devotee of
Srikrishna closes his eyes and Krishna comes to him.

A Christian closes his eyes and Christ comes to him. A lover of

Mahaveera closes his eyes and Mahaveera comes to him. Christ does
not comes to jain. Srikrishna does not come to Christian. Mahaveera,
Budtha or Gurunanak does not come to Srikrishna devotee.

Only the image you project in your belief will come to your meditation.
RAMKRISHNA LIFE WAS WITH KALI. Consciousness is alone. There is
no second one. Raise the sword and strike. Totapuri said. Ramkrisna
closed his eyes but as soon as he closed eyes his courage vanished. THE
DEVOTEE RAISES THE SWORD AND STRIKES THE GOD HIGHLY
IMPOSSIBLE. Finally Tota puri said, I have wasted lot of time here. It
is of no use. Either you do it or I am going. Do not waste my time. That
day Totapuri brought a piece of glass with him and said; when you
begin to be absorbed in delight, I will cut your forehead with this piece
of glass. When I cut you’re for ­head, gather courage and raise the
sword and strike. This is the last chance. Ramakrishna closed his
Eyes and kali image appeared. He was about to become ecstatic
when Totapuri Held him by forehead and cut the forehead with piece
of glass. Blood began to stream from the cut and this time Ramkrishna
collected his courage. He raised the sword and cut the kali in to
pieces. When kali fall down, he became non dual. The wave dissolved
in the ocean, it is said that he stayed immersed for six days in this
ultimate silence and when he opened his eyes
The first he said was, ‘the last barrier has fallen.

Astavakra sutra is extremely different. Neither gyan, nor bhakti,

nor karm yoga, none of these have reached to his height. It is
pure witnessing.

``

One whose path and goal are different cannot say right now. He
will say move, the Journey is long, climb then you will reach the
mountain. As our all so called religious Pundit says. Astavakra
says, open your eyes and see, you are sitting on the mountain,
where are you running. No one understood. They become very
nervous with Astavakra. These sages have mislead the whole
world. Because doing is always easy and un­doing is difficult.
Astavakra’s vision of witnessing and meditation are one because
the goal and the path are one. When ego begins melting tears
flows. When filled with desire each breathe is spreading fire. Now
love has descended. Now I am speech less. Look; ­ When you
are full of desires, full of thoughts, your tongue become very sharp
and fast and now it is speech less. You have travelled with the
help of others, falling in to ditches and get injured.

( 9 ) LIGHT YOUR OWN LAMP AND MOVE ON

Long have been you caught in the bondage of
perceiving yourself as the body. Cut this Bondage with
sword of knowledge and say I AM Soul –I AM
OBSERVER I AM AWARWNESS and be happy. 14/1
You believe that I am body. This is absolutely wrong. You are not
body. This is our misperception. This is our habit and we have
believed it so deeply we became body. Whatever we believe we
becomes.
The world is our belief and the moment we drop the belief we
can immediately feel Changes and to drop the belief nothing
is to be changed. Only the idea of being Body must be
dropped.

IN REALTY WE ARE HIDDEN INSIDE THE BODY AS

CONSCIOUSNESS, THE WITNESS, THE OBSERVER. Raise the
sword of awareness and chop away the idea that I am the body.

``

All sufferings are of the body and there is no identification with the
soul for all the pains of the Body.

Distance of body and soul is the distance of sky and earth. You
are soul, you are observer. No events can touch you. Even sins
cannot touch you. You are lotus floating on the water. Astavakra
says: ­ you know your being, mental projections
Quiet automatically. Mental projection arises because the being is not
known. When all mental projection becomes quit, man knows
himself.
.
(B) You are no sinner. Sins cannot even touch you.

You are alone, void of action, self illuminated and

innocent. Your bondage is this that you practice
Samadhi.15/1
Maditation can not be practiced because meditation means mental
projections. Mental projection arises because the “being” is not known.
When you are doing meditation you become doer. You are nor doer.

Trying to do meditation is like entering a dark house and trying to

fight with darkness and get rid of it. Do not try to get rid of it. The
actual situation is reverse; the presence of light is the absence of
darkness. Light a lamp and darkness disappears by itself.
Actually darkness does not exist; it is the absence of light.

You are alone. No one is your companion. The body is not your
companion, the breath is not your companion and thoughts are
not your companion. Husband, wife, family, friends, beloved One,
none are your companion. Neither they are born with you nor will
they go with you.
No union can be made with anyone within. There for
Bhagwan Srikrishna has said in Geeta I never die. I am
beyond death.
You are alone, void of action. Do not raise the question of your Karma’s.

``

If you asks Astavakra ,’ one can be liberated right now, what will
happen to the fruits of our past Karma;s. Astavakra says, you
have never done those. Out of vital energy body might have done
something. You have never done anything. You always stand
separate, in non doing position. Doing has never happened
through you. You are the observer of all action.

Consider it, in this way; ­ if we have to destroy the whole web of past
Karma’s, we can never do so. It is impossible. We have done so many

7
deeds over infinite births and if we have to be released from all
these past Karma’s then the release will take an infinite time,
And during that infinite life time you won’t be sitting idle. You will be
doing something, some good and some bad Karma’s. So Karma’s will
again be done and will be accumulated. THIS CHAIN WILL BE
ENDLESS. This chain will never finish. It will never come to an end
and you will never be liberated. Astavakra says if you have to be
liberated you have to become free from all the past karma’s otherwise
liberation can never happen. Actually you are Free if you can see
within.
Existence of liberation is the proof that being has never done
anything. You are neither a sinner nor saint. You are not virtuous.
There is no hell anywhere, there is no heaven. You have never done
anything. You are thinking that you are doing. It is your belief that you
are doing, actually You are just sleeping in the body and the bodies
are doing. Those bodies that did those things are gone long ago. How
can the fruits of their actions be yours? You were just sleeping within.
The mind acted, the mind that acted disappeared with that
body. No sins belong to you. You are sinless. No sin can touch
you. YOU JUST AWAKE UP. BY AWAKENING, you will find
you have never done anything.

``

You are self illuminated and innocent. Have you

heard this proclamation? You are innocent.
THROUGH AWAY WHAT PUNDITS, PUJARI’S AND MAHATMA’S
HAVE TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU ARE THE SINNER. You are not the
sinner. You are innocent. Their teachings has made you sinner. They
have taught you a thousand ways that you are bad, you are sinner.
They filled you with guilt’s. Actually you are innocent. You have
committed
No sins what so ever.
Your bondage is this that you do meditation. You are doing efforts
to bring fruits for liberation. That is a one kind of greed. This is your
bondage. Raise sword of awareness and sever it in to pieces.

10. You are no sinner. Sins cannot even touch you. Double
You are alone, void of action, self illuminated and innocent. Your
bondage is this that you practice Samadhi.15/1
Samadhi can not be practiced because Samadhi is our nature. Mental
projections are lower state. Trying to stop them is like entering a dark
house and trying to fight with darkness. Do not try to get rid of darkness.
The actual situation is just the reverse, the presence of light is the
absence of darkness. Light a lamp and darkness disappears by it self.
Actually darkness does not exist; it is the absence of light.
There are six waves of life. These are hunger and thrust, sadness and happiness,
birth and death. Hunger and thrust are the waves of body. Happiness and sadness
are the waves of mind. Birth and death are the waves of life energy. Breathing
starts at the time of birth and breath stop at the time of death.

You are alone. No one is your companion. The body is not your
companion, the breath is not your companion and thoughts are not
your companion. Husband, wife, family, friends, beloved One, none are
your companion. Neither they are born with you nor will they go with
you.
No union can be made with anyone within. There for Bhagwan Srikrishna
has said in Geeta That I never die. I am beyond death.

``

You are alone, void of action. Do not raise the question of your Karma’s. If
you asks Astavakra ,’ one can be liberated right now then what will happen to
the fruits of our past Karma;s. Astavakra will say, you have never done that.
Out of vital energy life may have done something. Out of own needs the mind
may have done something. You have never done anything. You are always
stand separate, in non doing position. Doing has never happened through
you. You are the observer of all action and liberated one.

Consider it in this way;­ if we have to destroy the whole web of past Karma’s, we
can never become liberated one. It is impossible. We have done so many acts over
infinite births and if We have to be released from all these past Karma’s then the
release will take an infinite time, And during that infinite life time you won’t be
sitting idle. You will be doing some thing some good and some bad Karma’s. So
Karma’s will again be done and will be accumulated. THIS CHAIN WILL BE
ENDLESS. This chain will never finish. It will never come to An end and you will
never be liberated. Astavakra says if you have to be liberated you have to Become
free from all the past karma’s otherwise liberation can never happen. Actually you
are Free already if you can see beyond within. Existence of liberation is the proof
that the being has never done anything. You are not a sinner

Nor saint. You are not virtuous. There is no hell anywhere, there is no heaven.
You have never done anything. You are thinking that you are doing. It is your
belief that you are doing, actually You are just sleeping in the body and the
bodies are doing. Those bodies that did those things are gone long ago. How
can the fruits of their actions be yours. You were just sleeping within.

The mind acted, the mind that acted disappeared with that body. No sins belong
to you. You are sinless. No sin can touch you. YOU WERE JUST SLEEPING
WITHIN, JUST AWAKE UP. BY AWAKENING, you will find you have never done
anything.

You are self illuminated and innocent. Have you heard this
proclamation? You are innocent. THROUGH AWAY WHAT
PUNDITS,
PUJARI’S AND MAHATMA’S HAVE TAUGHT YOU THATYOU ARE THE SINNER.

You are not the sinner. You are innocent. Their teachings has made
you sinner. They have taught you a thousand ways that you are bad, you
are sinner. They filled you with guilt’s. Actually you are innocent. You
have committed No sins what so ever.

``

Your bondage is this that you practice Samadhi. You are doing efforts for
meditation to Bring fruits for liberation to happen. That is also a one kind of greed.
This is your bondage. Raise sword of awareness and sever it in to pieces.

Now these two will become clear to you; that the path of yoga and the path of
awareness completely different. The ancient name for the path of awareness is
SANKHYA YOGA.
As Bhagwan Srikrishna said in Geeta . SANKHYA YOGA means you simply
wake up, do nothing. No need to do anything. Yoga means there is much
more to be done before awakening will happen. In yoga there are means and
ways in Sankhya there is only goal, only destination, no path what so ever?
You have never left the destination to go anywhere else. You just
have been sitting in your
Inner temple. You are bound because you are searching
liberation/MOKSHA. The Search for Moksha creates a new bondage.
A man is enslaved by himself in worldly affairs and he begins to search
salvation. Here he renounces wife and family, money and busyness. Then he
enslaved him self in a new bondage. He becomes a MONK. New restrictions
starts, how to move and what to do and what not to do. He creates a new
kind of slavery. Actually you are action less. You are non doer.
Have you observed a monk condition that is like a prisoner? A Monk is
not free, because a monk thinks that he has to accept restrictions to
become free. This is an hilarious idea. To be free no restrictions are
required. It is the most up to date expression, if you are to be free then
become free on the very first step. Don’t think you will become free in the
end, as that someone else will make you free or someone will give you
Moksha.
People thinks in that way only that when Bhagawan SRIKRISHNA has
said in geeta’s18th chapter Shaloka 66th, that hai arjuna, leave all the
religions, surrender to me, I will destroy all your sins And will give you
Moksha. ITS only meaning is this that you surrender to me and
understand Me, what I am saying, that knowledge, that wisdom will make
you free from all your sins and You will rest in Moksha. It is not like that
the peoples think that god only will do. God will Destroy the sins and
provide the Moksha like vise, as giving the vardaan to his devotee’s. It is
not like that easy. Actually you are not a sinner which Srikrisna knows and
you don’t know. You know that you are no sinner; you know that you are
not the doer. This awareness when comes then you are the open sky.
YOU ARE FREE ONLY AND if you are not free you can be Free in the
very first step, not on the second step.

``
If you will make preparation for freedom, these very preparations will
create Bondage, then to get out of these new bondage, you will have to
make new preparations. These new preparations will make again new
bonds; you will get one and be bound by the next. You will escape from
the ditch and fall in the well.
Astavakra says to declare your freedom , do not prepare for it. Don’t say that
first you must Get ready and then, you will get freedom after some time but
your preparations will enslave you rather. Then how to drop the preparation,
one disease is dropped another disease is Taken up. Astavakra says declare
your freedom here and now. Get the courage to declare.

11. Say: ­ You are divine. Aham Brahmasmi.

You are spreading this world. You are thread in it. Do not become
small minded. YOU ARE PURE CONSCIOUSNESS BY
NATURE.16/1
You are involved with that this house is mine, this money is mine, my
business, my son, Small things the mind gets involved in. Why to make
small claims. Make a great proclamation. Say I am pure consciousness.
Make the divine proclamation. WHY BE SATISFIED WITH ANY THING
LESS. Whole universe is yours. Like Krisna say, there is nothing in the
world which I do not posses. SriKrisha has proclaimed that I am god. You
also proclaim the same. Astavakra say. WHAT EVER WE PROCLAIM ­
WE BECOME THE SAME. Try to under Stand you are not different from
Krisna, just you have to open your eyes and see that you are God, then
you are the god. If you consider your self small then you will be small.
Your belief, Your proclamation is your life. You want to see god in stone
but not in your ‘self’, what a hilarious and funny thing.

You are without expectations. Clear and calm, unchanging, self

sufficient, unperturbed Hence have faith only in consciousness.17/1
This much faith is sufficient that you are pure consciousness. This is the
greatest magic in the world. Srikrishna has become Bhagwan Srikrisna
because of this faith. He announced I am the supreme GOD. Likewise
you can also proclaim you are god.Just you have to be seer. You have
to be witness and observer of whole universe.

``
 10. You are no sinner
You become what you believe and there are many cheats and scoundrels all
around you, you have been let to believe all kind of things. They have their
own motives. Priest wants to convince you that you are a sinner because if
you are not a sinner how he will continue to pray for you. It is his interest that
you must feel that you are a sinner. If you are not sinner or ignorant what will
become of his scholarship, how will he run his business. A religious teacher, if
he explain you that you are free of doing, you have never committed sins.
Then what will he do? There will be no need for you to go to him.
It is as if you go to some doctor and he explains that you are not sick, that you
have never been sick, health is your nature and then the doctor is committing
suicide. What will happen to his business? There are many scoundrels
businessmen. They have their own interest. Thousands of businesses are running
on you . Pundits, Priests, Pandey’s, so called Tilakdhari religious teachers. For
these peoples it is necessary for you to be sinner. It is necessary that you must
have done some wrong did either in this birth or in previous births. Otherwise what
will happen to those who explain you how to get released from that bed karma’s.
What will happen to those who come to save you and even your expired parents
and forefathers. How to do Pind daan and all rubbish rituals which are bread and
butter for them? If Astavakra is right then these entire messiah’s are useless. Then
there is no need for your release, you are already released and liberated one. You
have never done any sins what so ever.
Questions does not arise to destroy the sins. All are making you fool and
you feel proud to be Fool, it is such wonder full state of your mind.
Astavkra does not do such profession. He speaks straight forwardly, He is giving
crystal clear thruth. Same truth Srikrisna has also said to Arjun but in different tone.
Srikrishna has described about the soul. Krishna is also talking the same that you
are not the body but the soul. One’s self Confidence is needed to see that I am the
witness of all universe. Then all universes are mine. It is enough. There is no need
for any other belief. There is no need to faith in god. Faith means
In Hindi is VISHWAS. Vish means poison and vas means the place where one
live, you can well understand the meaning, where poison lives in. Hence do
not faith in others then yourself. Faith must comes from within, your own
experience. You try to experience that you are only seer, only observer, only
witness, experience it, don’t faith. What a wonder, when someone dies, you
pray for the peace of his soul. It shows that you know that he was a soul not a
body but when you alive you think nothing other than the body and do all the
act s to please the heart not soul. You prefer the man as soul after his death
and unless he is living, you consider him the body.

``
When you are live you are not sure that what you are, the soul or the body.. Your
belief Is that you are body, whereas, you do all kind of acts for the peace of the
soul. Think twice what you are actually do the need full. You are fully aware that
who is listening behind the ear, which is seeing behind the eyes, it is not your body
at all, it is something else which you remember only after he leave the body. That I
is within but we don’t want to see because of our worldly requirements or
selfishness. Matter is clear; we know that body is not ‘I’ but the listener behind the
ear and the seer behind the eyes is the actual ‘I’. SEE WHAT THE POET SAYS.
BACHPAN MAI SIKHATE HAI YAHI DHAM SATYA HAI,
YOVAN MAI SAVAYANM LAGE AARTH KAAM SATYA HAI,
JAB RAM CHALE JAATE HAI TAN KI AYODHA SE,
TAB LOG BATATE HAI RAM NAM SATYA HAI .
When that ‘I ‘go out of your body then only you recognize that. You never worries
for that ‘ I ‘Until and unless he is in the body AND AS SOON AS THAT GO OUT
OF
THE BODY YOU START TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE FOR THAT ‘I’. YOU START TO DO
SRADHA, TARAPAN, FEEDING THE BRAHMAN’S AND ALL KIND OF DAAN ETC FOR
THE PEACE OF THAT ‘I’.WHEN HE LIVES IN THE BODY WE NEVER CARE FOR HIM.
ONE SELF IS NOT SEEING ONE SELF.
WHAT A FUNNY THING. LIVING IN THE WORLD WE NEVER RECOGNISE OUR SELF.
WHEN THE BODY WILL BE LYING ON THE FLOOR AND THE LISTENER AND THE
SEER WILL BE OUT OF THE BODY THEN ONLY WE RECOGNISE WHAT WE
WERE. Astavakra says it is very easy; you need not to do so many things which
you are going on doing In search of GOD, just observing with alertness is enough.
What you take from other. How can it be yours? Only which you have not borrowed
from others is yours, which death will not be able to take away. Yours is what you
had before you were born, and what you will still have after death. Seek that one,
which is the god that is the creator and all. Search for that one. You do not need to
practice for that, only be alert witness and observer. People think to just sit is
defeat, if they sit, they think they are defeated, If they sit they think It is escaping, if
they sit they feel that the passerby will look at them like condemnation, that Sitting
ideal and doing nothing, so peoples keep moving and keep doing. All are just
earning money just to spend it. It is all useless, even though they are full busy.

DHAN KAMANA HI TO KOI JIVAN NAHI­ DHAN HI TO KAMAAYE JA RANHE HAI LOG.
PEENA BURI CHEEJ SAHI MAGAR PHIR BHI PIYE TO JA RANHE
HAI LOG. Drinking is not good but people are drinking. Smoking is not
good but people are smoking. They keep going them self doing
something or other, if no work they play card.

``
AND THOSE WHO JUST SIT ATTAIN THE GODLYNESS. Those who stop
running of thoughts, attain God. DIVINE IS NOT ATTAINED BY RUNNING, IT IS
ATTAINED BY
STOPING.WHO SAY GOD IS NOT ABLE TO BE SEEN?
YOU ARE NOT IN NEED TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY,
Simply sit a while and sink in to yourself, let the eyes get adjusted to the inside.

KNOW THE FORMLESS AND EVER LASTING AS SRIKRISHNA SAYS I AM

AVINASHI, Seldom have I come on the earth in some forms. It is the same thing.
Srikrisna is talking about two and Astavakra is talking about oneness but it is the
same thing both are one within. Make this understanding strong that we born
because of our desire and hopes. One who Dies knowing that I am the knower,
does not come back to this world. Have you seen a whirlpool, waves arising in the
water, when it became calm, where it has gone? There was no whirlpool. It was
just a wave in the water. Likewise we are just waves of divinity. When the wave is
gone nothing is left behind. In the same way all that happens in our life are Only
waves. LET THE
WAVES BE IN PEACE. JUST AS A MIRROW EXIST IN THE IMAGE REFLECTED IN IT
AND ALSO EXISTS APART FROM THE REFLECTION. GOD IS ALSO
WITH IN AND OUT SIDE OF THIS BODY. 19/1
Do not get confused by thinking of you as a wave. Think of yourself as the
ocean. All these waves are rising in your ocean and automatically
become silence. All are within you. Just experience it . Only this much
difference in belief is the difference between slavery and freedom. See
yourself as a wave, you are bounded, see yourself as the ocean, you are
liberated, you are divine. Just as the one all pervading sky is the same
within and outside a pot, the eternal everlasting Brahm is the same in
all.20/1
You are in the body but you are not the body. The body is yours but you are
not of the body. Use the body and do not lose your mastership on the body.
Through living in the body, Remain beyond the body, like a lotus in the water.
THE SKY HAS NO FORM. Once you know that you are the emptiness
like the sky, inside the Pot or out side the pot. Meditation can not go deep
as long as you continue desiring. As Long as you expect to attain some
thing your meditation can not go deep, thinking of attaining some thing or
other, is greed. It is ambition. People say; okay, we will meditate with out
expecting any thing , but we will attain, won’t we.

 SECOND CHEPTER 2.

(1) I am no sinner.
JANAK SAID; ­ WONDERFULL; I AM PURE. I AM PEACE. I AM AWARENESS. I AM
INNOSENCE. I HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY ILLUSION ALL THE TIME. ½
Janak seen, what had never been seen before? He heard what he had
never heard before.
Ego makes every one proud but a person who is egoless is like an empty
pot. Janak must have been like an empty pot. Wonderful and awe full, he
immediately awakens.
He heard it and awakened. It is very difficult to find a person like
Janak who awaken with
little hint as if he was just waiting.
Majority of the people are there to whom you try to awaken again and
again but Cannot awake. They hear but they do not listen. They
understand but draw their own meaning which suits to them.
They understand but still they hold their beliefs.
They have deep vested interest in misunderstanding the things. They
have to give up their old belief if they understand, which they don’t want.
Arjun was same kind of listener and you all are also like Arjuna. Arjuna
has made a lot of questions to Srikrishna and Srikrishna had to work hard
to make him understand. The Geeta was born out of this effort. But
Janak hears when it has hardly been spoken, ASTAVAKRA STARTED TO
SPEAK. JANAK STARTED SEEING, BECAME AWAKEN. Generally people do
not listen what is being said. They hear what They want to hear but don’t listen
what is being said. Few people listen what is being said. They take a little time
but when truth is seen, then how old a habit be there, that will have to drop.
The revolution of consciousness happens easily in the life of a man
who has experienced The all worldly affairs because that life
experience tells him, what I have known as life, is meaningless.
Person not enjoyed the world and wanted to get so many things but not able to
get anything. It is very difficult for him to be Awaken and the majority of the people
have not enjoyed the world, they want to enjoy the world and wanted to get so
many things in life, where is the question of awakening. So do not surprise if you
find that all Indian great masters were princes. It is not accidental. It is an
indication that one’s become free of the world only after enjoying it.

``

When someone has nothing, he lives in hope and it is very difficult to get rid of
hopes. The Poor man thinks that he will live happily tomorrow if he gets wealth
tomorrow. If you have money you can see that it is useless and worth less. If you
don’t have the money. It is very difficult to see that money is useless and worth
less. How can you see the worth less ness of what you don’t have. The poor man
goes on begging in the temple for what he does not get in his life.
Remember money does not enslave you, the desire for money enslave
you. Position does not bind you, the desire for position binds you. The
desire for fame binds you.
Astavakra says; you are pure, nothing sticks you. As soon as Janak heard
it the rays reached to his very depths, piercing straight like an arrow.

AMAZING; WHAT ARE YOU SAYING. I am pure and flaw less, I am peace, I am
awareness. I am beyond nature. I have been fooled by all this time; Janak was
shocked. What he heard. He had never heard before. What he saw in Astavakra,
he had never seen before. Some Thing wonder full was revealed. JANAK WAS
WONDER STRUCK. AMAZING, NOW I AM
BECOME AWARE THAT NOTHING CAN STICK TO ME.
TRUTH IS UNBELIEVABLE ­ WE HAVE BELIEVED THE FALSE SO LONG.
We have always considered guilty and the priest has always said that we are
sinner. The pundits and priests have always preached that we should wash
away our sins. No one has ever said you are innocent, your innocence is such
there is no way to destroy it. Those million sins cannot make you a sinner.
All the sins you have done are only dreams you have seen. Just wake up
and they will be go.

NEITHER PUNYA NOR PAP IS YOURS. THE VERY DOING IS NOT YOURS BECAUSE
YOU ARE NOT THE DOER. YOU ARE ONLY OBSERVER. YOU ARE WITNESS. JANAK
SAID IN WONDER; ­ I AM PURE; I AM PEACE; I AM FLAWLESS; AMAZING…………….
SO FAR I KNOWN ONLY TURMOIL.

Have you ever experience peace? You will usually say yes but you are wrong. If
you ever Known to peace, empty mind devil’s home, had never been said. If you
look deeply, you will find that what you call peace is only a short time between two
turmoil and tensions. You never sit in peace. Astavakra tells you to sit ideal in
peace, become salience, become non doer, Become only witness. Become only
seer. Become observer. There is no other meaning of peace.

Whatever you are doing is done un aware, as if in sleep. If someone

question you thoroughly

``

You will not be able to answer. Why do you smoke when it is injurious for health?
No answer, like wise so many things you do which are not at all answerable by.
You will only say, I don’t know. I just fell in habit. It is just happened.
You are in the state of unconsciousness from the very beginning. We are
more or less sleep walking. Our eyes are open but our sleep is not
broken. Our eyes are full of sleeps. Some thing
Happens, we go on doing things again and again. WHY PEOPLE LOVE THEIR
FACE; THEY DON’T LOVE THEIR ETERNAL SOUL; AMAZING; we are afraid to
ask, why, because we have no answer. Raising such questions makes us uneasy.
Janak said; amazing. I am pure and not only this, you are telling me,
you are not the body,
You are not the mind; you are not that one which is being seen.
YOU ARE THE OBSERVER, ALWAYS BEYOND THE EXTERNAL WORLD.
It is to understand that whatever we see are not we. Whatever I see am not
me. What so ever Come in experience is not me. Because whatever I see, I
am beyond this. Eyes are seeing but I am behind the eyes, which is seeing.
What so ever becomes my experience, I am beyond, because I am the
observer.
In Bhagvat geeta Sri Krishna says the same but in different way.
Srikrishna describes about the soul in the body. Body is coming and
going but soul is everlasting. Bodies are changed, like we change the
clothes but soul remains. Janak simply received what Maharishi Astavkra
said. Janak did not raise any question. Janak Said, you shocked me, you
awakened me. There is nothing to ask. Janak began to experience.
You can also do the same but it seems impossible to you. It happened
so fast. It seems to us that it should have taken some time. We are very
surprised; it happen so quickly.1/2

Just as I alone give current to this body, I do give the current to the whole
universe too. Either this whole universe is mine or nothing is mine at all. 2/2
Astavakra says; you are ultimate being – witnessing is yours. It is not only your
center, it is the center of the entire world. On the surface we are separate but
within we are one.Just as waves are separate on the surface of the ocean but in
the depth of the ocean. All are one; there is no wave in the depth.
One who remembers the center losses his personality. He ceases to be a
personality. Just as I alone illuminate this body, I do illuminate the universe too.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. My witness is the witness of the whole world. So
the whole universe is mine. Or otherwise I have nothing at all, because I
don’t even exist. In witnessing I no longer Exist, only witnessing remains.
Who will make the claim, claimant no longer exist.

``

Janak says there are two possibilities either fullness or emptiness. Upnishad
say the same. Zero plus zero is equal to zero. Zero minus zero is equal to
zero. Everything comes out of that whole but that whole remains the whole.
Everything merges in the whole but whole neither increases nor decreases.
I am the center of the entire universe. The entire universe is mine but
when I am the center Of the entire universe I no longer remain I. My ‘I’
HAS DROPPED. It is left behind like a cloud of dust. .2/2

13. Renouncing the body ­ I see only divinity.

AMAZING, HAVING RENOUNCED THE BODY AND THE WORLD, NOW THROUGH
THE SKILL OF
YOURS TEACHING I SEE ONLY THE DIVINE. 3/2
It is wonder full, my body is no more and with the body the whole
world disappeared.
RENUNCIATION IS NOT TO BE DONE. IT IS A STATE OF
CONSCIOUSNESS. If some one says, I am a denunciate he know nothing
about renunciation,
Because as long as there is ‘I’ how can there is renunciation. Let go does not
mean abandoning things. Let go/ renunciation means waking up and seeing
that nothing Is mine, how can I drop. What to drop. If I had held I can drop.
So the key for the realization is, when you see world is nothing what is
there to renounce. But there are people who keep track of how much
they have renounced, because scriptures say if you give one paisa
here, you will receive millions there. Who is not going to do such a
deal? This is just an extension of your greed.

There is a story to open your eyes again. There was a king having only one
son and that Son was seriously sick lying on his death bed. The physician had
given up the hopes, saying We cannot do anything, he can die any moment. It
is a matter of just two three days. The father stays awake all night sitting on
his bed side. Tears were following from his eyes. Sitting and sitting, at about
three am in the morning, the father began to doze. While he slept, he
dreamed a great empire over which he was lord. He had twelve sons, all were
very handsome, young, talented, intelligent and great fighters.He was having
this dream when the son breathed his last. His wife screamed and started
crying.
He opened his eyes. He was completely shocked. He sat there dumb
founded because just a moment before there was twelve sons. They all
gone and here this son had died.

``

He was completely bewildered. His wife worried whether his mind was
damaged, because he had Great affection with his son and not a single
tear was coming to his eyes. His wife shook him And said, has something
happened to you. Why don’t you cry?
He said, for whom I should cry. There were twelve sons a minute before,
they all died. Should I cry for them or should I cry for this son. I wonder who I
should cry for. Just as twelve sons has gone, thirteen have gone. Everything
has finished he said. That was a dream and this too is a dream. When I was
seeing the dream, it was real for me at that moment. I had completely
forgotten this son. When the dream broke I remembered you all.
Now both dreams have gone. Now I have awakened from day
dreaming. It is enough, now I won’t be roaming about in the dreams of
the world. The time has come to understand, neither this is the true nor
that was true. Now I have awakened. Let go happened.
JANAK HAS NOT MOVED AN ENCH BUT JANAK SAYS, AMAZING. LET GO
HAPPENED.
Renunciation happened through understanding and piercing in the heart straight
like an arrow. Amazing, now through the skill of your teaching, having renounced
the body and the world,What skill is it, hardly a leaf is shaken and the awakening
has happened. The world is nolonger is being seen. My whole vision is changed.
Now I am seeing the divine. Now I will still live here but now I will live like a guest. It
is all the same. I will work but now no worry catches hold of me. You stay where
you are, there is no need to flee to Himalya. Sanyas is not escaping.
Everything remains as it is and let be happens. It is an inner matter. You
will be surprisedWhat has happened?If you want to live skill fully, take
your life as acting. This too is like a dream. It is still a Stage, don’t make a
home here. Stay here just as in the rented house. You are going
toDepart. There is no need to sink roots down here, one who does will
suffer, will come backagain and again. No salvation for him.

WHAT SKILL. WHAT A MASTER I HAVE MET. I SEE ONLY DIVINE.

I don’t see anything else. Now all this appears as part of the divinity­
just his waves.Just as waves, foams and bubbles are not other then
water so this individual soul is notother than universal soul. 4­5­6/2

Just bubbles rise from water and they just disappear back in to it. In the
same way there isNothing here that is separate from divinity. We are all
his bubbles, waves. We are unnecessarily thinking that we are doer. We
are just like waves and bubbles in the water.I have started to see this.

``

This is an experience, an expression arising from a deep experience that he is

having. YouAlso take a look. It is just a matter of small change of vision.
Srikrishna says in Geeta Divya Darsty­ the wonder eyes. It is a change of vision
only.You must have seen a picture in children book, a single picture in which if
you look carefullyYou will see an old woman and some time you will see a young
woman. As you go on watching It begins alternative. Some time the old woman
appears and some time the young woman appear. You will surprise. It is some
thing which you might never have thought about. Youcan not see both at the
same time. By looking in one way it has one appearance. By looking
Other way it has another appearance, but the way you look changes
the whole meaning.

JANAK SAYS; I SEE ONLY THE DIVINE.

Just as cloth when analyzed is nothing but thread, like wise this universe
when analyzes isnothing but the soul. Scientist also say that the whole
universe is made of one energy. JustAs cloth is only thread, exactly the
same way this existence is woven from being.
Just as sugar produced from sugarcane juice is wholly pervaded by it.
The universeProduced by me (soul) is pervaded by me. From the
ignorance of soul world appears. By knowing soul world does not
appear. The soul is non doer and you are soul not the body. This you
remember forever. Hence you have done nothing. Hence the sins are
not yours. You should posses the qualifications of divinity.

From the ignorance the rope appears a snake, from knowing the rope it does not
appearsnake. Likewise from the ignorance of the soul this world appears, from
knowing the soulIt does not appear, try to understand it a little; ­ a rope is lying on
the ground but you see a snake in the darkness and become afraid thinking it a
snake. You run away. You bring sticksAnd start to beat it. Then someone brings a
lamp and the sticks falls from your hands. Fear vanishes in the light you see it is
not a snake. It is just a rope. The snake exists onlybecause you could not see the
rope as a rope. There was no snake. Likewise the world is.
By knowing the soul world does not appear, it appears only if you do
not know the soul.

There are two ways for renunciations. One way is by renouncing the world you
can know yourself. The other way is you know your ‘self’ and the world will
automatically be dropped. When you start seeing your being, world is not at all

``

visible. If you see the world and yourself as body then you don’t see
your being. There is no way what so ever. Both can be seen
simultaneously.
If you want to see darkness then doesn’t make the mistake of bringing
light. If you don’t want
to see darkness then only bring the light. Darkness and light cannot be seen
altogether. Darkness is the absence of light. When light is present, how can its
absence be there. Shake yourself inside. Awaken yourself. Your awakening is
all that is needed. Don’t worry; don’t bother about what anyone says. If people
say you are mad then go mad. Has anyone become enlightened without going
mad? Give your attention to your inner being. This world has nothing so
valuable as this to give to you. Don’t sell your being, even if in exchange you
receive the whole universe as your kingdom. What is the use of it if you gain
the whole world but you lose your own soul? If you save your soul and loose
the whole world, you have everything.

This is a journey of great aloneness. Divinity is the journey of great courage,

of great daring.Those who are ready to accept the risk of going in to the
un­known, it is for them. It is not for the cleaver one who calculate
everything.

Sanyas is a needle. The thorn of the world is stuck in you; this is the way to
take it out. If you can pull it out without a needle, which is even better. What
could be more blessing than Astavakra. If you can understand Astavakra then
there will be no need for SanyasBut make sure you are not deceiving yourself.

Janak said ;­ light is myself nature. I am not other than that. When the
universe is illuminatedIt is illuminated by my delight. 8/2

When you get the light of divinity you become the same and start to
speak in a different tone.
Janak uttered these words in a moment when he was filled with
delighters. If you consider them without testing, there is a possibility of
misunderstanding and his meaning will seem something quite different
then you will add your own interpretation. For example;­

When Srikrishna says in Geeta, to drop everything to Arjuna and surrender to me,
whenYou read it you will feel this declaration is very egoistical. The meaning you
will give to this Me is your meaning, not of Srikrishna’s. In Srikrishna statement this
‘I‘remains just for a reference. For you this reference is much more. In your state of
mind this reference will become the truth. For Srikrishna it is merely

``

reference, not indicating anything more. He has to speak so he used it. He

wants to communicate so he used it but after speaking
There is no ‘I‘. If you look in to Srikrishna eyes you will not find any I. There is ultimate
silence, only emptiness. The ‘I‘has disappear. This is why the Krishna can say, come
and Surrender to me, when he say surrender to me, we interpret ME as we know it.
These words of Janak will surprise you even more. Janak says, amazing, my nature.
Amazing , my light, surprising, what am I . I touch my own feet. I bow down to my feet. It
will shock you. In this statement Janak bows down to himself. The other no longer
Remains. He says again and again AMZAING AM I , I AM ETERNAL. Myself is in
wonder.
I bow down to myself because when all is perished still ‘I’ remain. From Brahma to the
smallest atom all will be destroyed, but still I will remain, don’t Forget this I is not for
janak face or body but eternal one. I am in the world and yet Untouched, like a lotus in
the water. This ‘I‘is egoless. This I am for all being.

We have never heard such a declaration. I bow down to my feet. You will think this
is the egotism. It would be alright if he said it to others to bow down but there is no
other now in Janak looks, that is why he is touching his own feet.

Janak says this whole universe is lighting by my light, certainly this light Janak is talking about­
Cannot be the light of the ‘I‘. This can be light void of I . So don’t look at the language, don’t Let
the intellect meddle. The meaning is very simple, don’t twist and distort it. Only try to
understand it. This I is for all of us if we can hear, if we can awake, if we can be witness.
WHAT IS HIDDEN IN ME IS THE KEY TO SEE.
Inner source of light is achieved when the ‘I‘has gone, but how can one say it. When it is
to be described \then the I has to be brought back in again. When the universe is
illuminated it is illuminated by my light only. Certainly Janak is not talking about the
person named Janak like Wise srikrishna is not talking about the body named
Srikrishna. They are speaking from within. They had seen the everlasting, one who is
hidden in the body. Janak and Krishna personality has disappeared, individual wave
has gone, only the ocean remains, only the divine remains. This declaration of janak is
not about himself. This is for whole existence. Learn to be obliterated then the taste of
this will start coming, and when the taste comes, declaration like this will arise from us
too. It is difficult to stop. Janaj did not say these words after thinking. He would have
hesitated to say if he had thought. He had just brought Astavakra there. Astavakra said
few things and Janak’s enlightenment happened.

Amazing that through ignorance the imaginary world appears in me, just as silver
appears in mother of pearls, a snake in a rope, a mirage in the rays of the sun. 9/2
Amazing; the happening happened so suddenly, so forcefully that janak could not contain it.
Everything is beyond belief. When it is not happened it seems impossible and when it happened ­
it happened, it seems even more impossible. Janak is in exactly in the same state.
Amazing; ­ Everything is just imagined. Only I am true. Only the witness is true. All else
is Illusory, everything else is illusion/maya. I used by janak is not his body but his ‘I’ is
the witness of all being. This ‘I’ is of the divinity. This ‘I’ is immortal. Understand this
properly.

``
14. Universe has been created by me and will dissolve in me, just
like as a pot dissolve in clay, a wave in to water, or a bracelet in to gold. 10/2

Janak human form is disappearing and his divine form is coming out. Once Swamy
Ramtirath went to America. Someone asked him who created the universe.
Ramtirath must have Been in Samadhi, he said, ‘I’ did ‘. I made them all. I set them
in motion and they have been moving ever since.
To understand this statement we have to remember Srikrishna. In geeta srikrishna
also said that I have created the whole universe. These both statements are difficult
to understand. Actually both of them are speaking as the eternal, as the immortal, not
speaking as a man Limited and defined as body and mind. They are speaking as the
one beyond the body and Mind. These declarations are from the existence itself. But
it is very difficult and very hard To accept when it has been said by Swamy Ramtirath
but it is very easy when it has been said by Bhagwan Srikrishna.
In this moment janak’s personalty is dissolving and he is speaking from infinity. Under
Astavakra influence janak remembered who he was. Is this something easy to say;­
The universe which has been created by me will dissolve in to me. lord Srikrishna has
Also said the same thing after ten thousand years in Sri madbhagvad geeta that I have
Produced this whole world and it will dissolve in to me.

Amazing am I, I bow down to my self. When the whole world shall parish from
Brahma to very blade of grass. I shall not parish. I am eternal. 11/2
Do you see how wonder full this statement is. I bow down to my self. Certainly this is not
Janak’s statement. This is an expression of the ultimate happening that has taken place.
All shall be destroyed. I will not be destroyed. All are born and all will die. I am not
born. I will not die. Srikrishna has also said the same thing. Soul never born and soul
never die.
I am amazed. I myself am in awe. I watch them being created and I watch
them being destroyed. They are all events.
Two appears but I am still no dual. This appearance of two is only on the outside,
like seeing the branches of a tree. If you count the branches there are many. If you
count down the tree To the trunk they all become one. It is just the same in the
world. Many are seen but coming Back to the source they become one. It is all the
expansion of one.

Amazing am I, I bow down to myself. ALTHOUGH EMBODIED but I am no dual. I

neither go Any where nor com from anywhere, I just exist, I pervade the world.
12/2

Listen, janak is saying that he pervade the world, he is the definition of the world. The
world Is inside him. Like clouds arising in the sky and disappearing, the whole ages
arise and dissolve In him. Srikrishna also said the same thing in Geeta chapter nine
verses five.
There was childhood in your sky first and when you became a young man, that form
disappeared and another cloud surrounded you. You assumed a new form, new
desires arose. Desires put on new clothes, then you starting getting old. Your clothes
also left. The noise and Glamour of your youth also went. Desired washed away. Now
you are surprised how you could have got lost in those desires. Now you are shocked
to think that you were such an idiot, that You were so foolish.

``
One day or other every old man, if he has really succeeded in seeing life a little­ is filled with
surprise, ‘ what kind of things I was running after money, power, women, running after all sorts of
things. What was I chasing after; I cannot believe that I could have been in such dreams. There
is a saying that if a young man cannot cry he is not truly young and if old man can not Laugh he
is not truly old, if he cannot laugh at his whole life and at himself, seeing what idiocy What
foolishness he was doing whole the life, running after things which have no significance. You do
whatever is to be done, without involving yourself in to it. Never forget that you
are not the doer. You are the witness.

Amazing am I, I bow down to myself. None here is as capable as I. Who have been
maintaining the universe for an eternity without even touching with the body.13/2

Do you here janak is saying no one is as capable as he is . This is the art, skill fullness,
who is skill full as i. As capable as I . I have not touched the body. I have never touched
it. There is no way to touch it because your nature of I and the nature of the body are so
different that touching is not possible. You are simply the witness. You can only see. You
and body cannot meet. You exists in the body. The body exists in you but without
touching each other as if at an infinite distance. There nature is so different that you
cannot mix them.
so janak says, ‘I’ am filled with wonder, what is this capacity of mine, I have done
so many actions and still I am unattached. I have enjoyed so much but still no
trace of attachment Pulls on me, as if you are writing on water, you go on writing
but nothing is written. With The witness you go on doing things, enjoying things
but nothing is written. Every thing Disappears like lines on water.

We go on telling our self that we are one with the body, but we cannot be and we can
go on Telling our self that we are separate from the divine, but we cannot be. We can
understand the day when we will know that we are joined to the divine, that day we will
know. Oh wonder of wonders, I had never been united with the body. Learn to be
witness in ordinary life. Make a little effort. Watch yourself walking on the road and be a
witness. Watch yourself being angry. Slowly slowly you help and support the witness.
One day the declaration will happen within you too. The ultimate rain will come.

Amazing am I, I bow down to myself. I have nothing at all or I have all that can be
encompassed by speech or thought. 14/2

Janak is saying in one sense nothing is his because he is not. He no longer exists. So in
one sense Nothing is his and in another sense everything is his. As HE no longer is an
only existence remains In him. Godliness remains and everything belongs to it. This
happened when it seems nothing is his and everything is his. Bhagwan srikrishna has
said nothing is there in the world which I do not posses even though I do the karma.

Your devotee and your god are inside. Let the union happen there. Lose yourself within. You
your self are the divine and you your self are the devotee. There are not two. There is only one.
This can happen just by awareness as it happened to janak, merely through understanding but
great intelligence is needed. If you keep your I separate, if you became pure naked
consciousness, this can happen. If it happens it is good. There is no method in it. If it does not

``
happen to you, you won’t be able to ask how to prepare for it to happen. If you ask about the
preparations it does not happen. Then there is no way. then Patanjali is your path. Astavakra is
not your path. This is why the Astavakra geeta goes on lying in darkness.Such brilliance is rare.
I bow down to myself means both the devotee and the divine are within me.

You must have heard from your so called Mahatma’s that devotee is greater than god. It
is all childish. There is no two. There is only one. Devotee should also follow the virtue Of
god. We should mingle with the god like sugar mingles in the milk. That is all.14.2

15. DUALITY IS THE REASON OF YOUR PAIN AND PLEASURE.

Knowledge, what is to be known, and the knower ­­ these three do not exist in
reality. I am the spotless reality in which they appear because of ignorance.
2.15

Truly dualism is the root of suffering. There is no remedy for it, the realisation ­
all we see is unreal and I am one painless reality, consisting of consciousness.
2.16

Janak renounced nothing and he becomes a great denouncer. Duality is the

reason of pain, there is no medicine. All these seeing are false. I am pure
conscious.

Who has known oneness then who to fight with whom? I am the whole and sole.
I am there in all. Janak is saying disease is false and there is no cure of false
sickness. By knowing the sickness is false you can get rid off all.

What ever the ways and sources are there to get in salvation and divinity all
are the medicine to remove the false sickness.

I am pure awareness though through ignorance I have imagined myself to have

additional attributes. By continually reflecting like this, my dwelling place is in
the Unimagined. 2.17

The moment you will be able to see the truth, there will be nothing to renounce.
All the dreams will vanish. You will be able to see divine within. You will
totally of God. You will be able to experience divinity within. Astavkra says
this to rest within. Nowhere to go and to be nothing.

For me here is neither bondage nor liberation. The illusion has lost its basis and
ceased. Truly all this exists in me, though ultimately it does not even exist in
me. 2.18

What a wonderful statement is this? There is no bondage and no salvation for me.

You must have heard world is bondage. Renounce the world – renounce
the bondage, search for salvation and get the salvation. But listen what
Janak is

``
saying? He is saying there are no bondage and no salvation. Such position of
the heart is to get in divinity.

Bondages are of imagination and salvation is also imagination.

Recognising that all this and my body too are nothing, while my true self is
nothing but pure consciousness, what is there left for the imagination to work
on now? 2.19

The entire bases are fallen down. There is no desire for pleasure and there is
no fear of pain. Neither have I wanted to become anything nor to go any
where. I dropped the entire basis. There is no place for imagination too. I
have saved nothing.

Some are having the imagination of wealth. Some are mad after position.
Some desire heaven. But all these are of heart not mine.

16. The body, heaven and hell, bondage, liberation,

and fear too, all these are pure imagination. I am
unconcerned soul. What is left to do for me whose very nature is
consciousness? 2.20

A wonderful happening happened with Janak. In the mirror of Astavakra

Janak has seen his face and got the knowledge. This happens with a great
difficulty. Janak started to speak as like Astavakra.

I do not see dualism in a crowd of people, so what do I gain if it is

replaced by a desert or forest? 2.21 Masses have become like forest for
me. How to do attachment and to whom and where, there is no other one
for attachment. I am surprised I am not seeing two. I have not become
blind. I am able to see which I have never seen. Eyes are fully open and I
am not able to see dualism. I am seeing one and one only. All have
become the branches and leafs of the same tree. Dualism is not visible.
Earlier I was seeing duality ­ not now. Astavakra is listening peacefully.
Janak is going on saying. Astavkra has not spoken a single word.
Astavkra wants to see the happening which has taken place. Let him say
once what has happened to him. Let it flow what ever happened with in.

``

I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am not a living being. I am
consciousness. It was my thirst for living that was my bondage. 2.22

I am not the body, nor is the body mine. My bondage is I want to live.
Janak is explaining what he is experiencing. My bondage was that I
wanted to live. What to do with the desire to live now. Where to keep the
desire to live even? Where to attach myself? because now I am seeing
‘one’ and only one everywhere. I am seeing very clearly that I am
conscious.

Janak says all being bondage is this they want to live. It is wonderful
someone has no legs and begging on the road even though he wants to
live. Attachment of surviving is very deep. Attachment of living is so
deep that man wants to live whatever the circumstance may by? It is
natural. Janak says I am not the body and body is not mine.

Whatever is being seen this living being that is not I? Certainly I am

consciousness. There was bondage that I wanted to live. Now I came to
know, myself is life. Desire to live be is foolishness.

Truly it is in the infinite ocean of me that, stimulated by the colorful

waves of the world, everything suddenly arises in the wind of
consciousness. In the infinite ocean of myself, the wind of thought
subsides, and the world boat of the living­being traders is wrecked by
lack of goods.

How wonderful it is that in the infinite ocean of me the waves of living

beings arise, collide, play, and disappear, in accordance with their
nature. 2.23­25

Janak says: as like winds create the waves in sea, heart creates thousand
types of waves. These waves are not mine. They are of heart.

It is to be pointed out clearly that the waves of heart must be stopped.

Waves of heart must be in peace. Question arises what to do to keep the
waves of heart in peace? Our scriptures describe so many things but to
keep the waves of heart in peace, Astavakra and Janak views are very
different. They do not say you do this or that. They say; by doing waves

``

of heart will raise more. You will satisfy one, second one will rise. You
will satisfy second one, third one will rise and this will never end.

You need not to do anything. There is no question of doing. You just sit
and see. Don’t do anything. If you will do, waves will rise. You just go
on seeing them all. Do nothing.

It is all wonderful; all the waves are being created by nature. They play ­
fight altogether and dissolve by nature. It is all happening by nature, you
will not be able to pacify. You neither can pacify nor UN­pacify those.
You don’t come in between. Let it be happening. You remember that
you are observer. Let the wave’s rise – play and fight. As the waves rise
by nature they will dissolve by nature. You just sit on the bank of the
river as observer.

THIRD CHAPTER
Astavakra blessed truth to Janak. Such was the effect of his
teachings that Janak has started reflecting immediately.

Janak said:­Oh wonderful. Surprisingly I slept so far. Now by

your teachings I have awakened. Everything begins from
me and is controlled by me.

Astavakra was just listening what happened to janak. Astavakra was

watching. Now Astavakra is questioning janak: ­ whatever you are
saying, Have you experienced it or you are confused by my teachings?

17. After knowing the immortal soul Janak, are you

still interested in money, power and position?

``

Astavakra Asked janak:­By knowing the soul is one and immortal.

Are you still interested in earning the wealth? Janak had not left
the palace and not renounced the wealth.1/3
Astavakra has put up a question to janak:­ you are announcing soul is
one and immortal. You are declaring oneness of divinity and even after
this declaration are you still interested in money. Are you still
interested in throne, palace, position etc? Astavakra asked a question
to Janak. When you have recognized oneness of divinity, you have
come to know you yourself is divine then can you run after money
even now? You just search money, power, position and greed are
there or not within you. If there is desire for money power position
within then what ever you are saying is all waste and if you do not find
the desire of money power position within you then only you can
understand that something has happened otherwise nothing has
happened. Hence you once again peep within and see if there is any
hope of getting anything or any interest of anything or any desire even
so small is not left within you. You just answer me this.

It is a major happening happened to janak but Astavakra wants to

check it up that something has happened actually. As janak had
said time and again wonderful, astonishing. I am myself divine?
How foolish I was? I was indulged in what kind of madness.
SLOKA­II START:­

It is very much wonder full that I find myself as divinity. ATMA

IS PARMATMA. How can I indulge in worldly things? They are
just like shells looking like silver in glittering sun. Due to lack
of knowledge within we run after worldly attractions.2.3

When we see a rope lying on the road we think it is a

snake we run here and there and get our self hurt. Due to ignorance
rope has

``
 frightened us. Likewise due to ignorance of soul we feel worldly
things are true. It is all due to false notions.
Many times you have heard to leave anger, greed, pride
and so many other things but if you recognize your soul and start
to live within then there is no need to leave all these things they
will run away automatically as to remove darkness you have to
bring light and darkness automatically go away. Therefore
Astavakra is saying; ­ have you got the self knowledge Janak ?

It looks by your announcement that you have got the self knowledge.
Now I am asking you, just try to find out and try to search within if there
is any attachment due. Whether the old webs hold you?

All this wells up like waves in the sea. Recognising, "I am That," why
run around like someone in need? 3.3

18 Getting in divine means nothing left to gain.

Wise person never runs like ordinary one. You just look within
whether any desire for worldly things is left. Enlightenment means you
do not require any thing from this world. If you require any thing from
this world that means you have not experienced divinity. As lord
Krishna says in Shree Madbhagawad Geeta that I have acquired every
thing in this world and there is nothing which I have not got.

After knowing beautiful soul how can one indulge in wordly things?
By hearing no one can get enlightens. Keep it in the mind.
Enlightenment comes by self experience. Just by hearing you should
not come to conclusion that you have experienced the divinity.4.3

Until and unless you experience yourself don’t agree by hearing.

You can be enlightened only by self realization.

``
In all creatures there is soul and all creatures are there in soul. Even
knowing this the knowledgeable person is attracted by worldly things.
Is it not wonderful? Astavakra says you just see the saints and munis.
All are saying that the soul is in all creatures and all creatures are there
in soul even though they are fascinated by worldly things. 5.3

19 Don’t be such sage who talks renouncement but

desire within.
So you don’t hurry Janak. You also don’t be that type of saint who is
going on saying that we have renounced all worldly things and we do
not have any desire, attachments or anger with in. But reality is this that
some are going on trying to renounce and some are not even trying to
renounce and going on saying that we have renounced.

So many saints are like this they are being fascinated by worldly
affair this is really astonishing. Attachment are there what will be more
wonderful then this. Saints are also bonded. There are people who talk
about realization but still indulge in all sorts of wordly things .They are
talking divinity and still desiring the wordly things. Therefore Astavakra
says Hay Janak; just look within properly and announce. Don’t try to
announce so fast because this happens very rarely.

``
 It is astonishing that a man who has reached the supreme no dual state
and is intent on the benefits of liberation should still be subject to lust
and in bondage to sexual activity. 3.6

Who is totally relaxed and surrender to oneness and fully interested

in divinity even though because of old habits falls in for desires and
sex is it not strange? How wonder full is this?

Who is ready to enter the kingdom of divinity? Who has announced

his faith in divinity and oneness of soul very strange because of old
habits he again and again runs after desires and sex. Therefore
Astavakra says to janak: ­ Do not go fast these webs are very old.

You have been liberated within minutes. Ashtavaksa does not say
that you are not liberated because astavakra philosophy is this
only that you can be liberated immediately but still he says janak
you think whether you are fully confident about yourself. Do not
take early decisions that you have become liberated at once.

Astavakra wants to satisfy himself that janak may not fall in worldly
attractions. Astavakra first wants to check Janak from all sides so
that nothing should be in doubt and this happening must not be
half done this happening must be full in all ways.3.6

It astonishes that one already very debilitated and knowing very well
that its arousal is the enemy of knowledge, should still hanker after
sensuality, even when approaching his last days. 3.7

You got the wisdom. You have gained the knowledge of mortal
and immortal. It seems you have come face to face with divinity. But
the lover of salvation is afraid of salvation do you know this strange
thing? Just see within whether you are afraid of salvation? So many
wise people are afraid of salvation. So many knowledgeable
persons have fear from salvation.

``
 Generally man virtue is also a part of fear. You do well to others
because of the fear that we must not go to hell. Because of the fear
there is god. Because of the fear there is heaven. Heaven must not
be lost. God must not be angry with us. God must not do some
thing wrong to us in anger. Ashtavaksa says: ­ I have seen the
sages who want salvation are afraid of salvation. Janak: ­ once
again you see carefully that you must not have any fear with in.

If you have seen the life then one thing is clear that life is
useless. There is no use at all. You work hard to earn run here and
there do lot of labour and mental work earn and spend still you are not
going to get any thing. It is very strange even though you do not want
to die and want to live. Who has seen the uselessness of life he never
wants the long life. He only says that death should be the final death.
No more coming and going in this false world required.

Even knowing that sex is enemy of knowledge very weak and

even at the bed of death men want to do sex. Is not it strange?
What are you talking about strangeness janak? Real strangeness I
am telling you man is dying all life vigour has gone even though he
wants to do sex. Is not it strange enough?
Ashtavaksa first wants to judge Janak properly. There must not
be any kind of mistake. So Ashtavaksa says; you just look within. You
must not fall in same old web in which so many saints have fallen. A
lot of wise persons are victims of this disease. Those who are talking
about renouncement they also want all wordly things within. They are
still interested in money, power and position. Hence you judge
yourself. If all this is not there then only your announcement has the
truth.

``
20 One who desire salvation is afraid of death. What a wonder.

It is astonishing that one who is unattached to the things of this world or

the next, who discriminates between the permanent and the impermanent,
and who logs for liberation, still he is afraid of liberation. 3.8

Who has liberated him self from this wordily and other worldly pleasure
and who has the knowledge of mortal and immortal and who is
interested in salvation and divinity he is also afraid of salvation. Do you
know this? Is it not all strange? Are not you afraid of salvation some
where inside? By your saying it seems that you are completely
liberated. It seems you have come to know that we must not come
back. We should not get the life again. That is called liberation from
traveling of life and death. Astavakra says to janak just you see within
whether you have any fear of death. If you have understood then you
must be ready to die. You must be agreeing for great death. You must
agree for immortal death. You must dare to welcome the death. You
must be always ready to accept the death with happiness. He who has
known the life he can welcome the death with happiness. He will never

``

come back in the world again. He will be fully liberated from

the journey of life and death.
9/3/AG Ashtavaksa says: ­ Hey janak person who has realized inner
soul, he never bothers for pain and pleasure. While enjoying or
suffering he never gets angry and never be happy. If there is loss he is
not unhappy. If there is profit he is not happy. If some one respects
him he just not becomes happy and if some one disrespect him he just
not become sad. Today you are king tomorrow you may have to be a
beggar. Will there be any difference within you? If there will be any
difference then you do not hurry to say what you are saying.

It is very kindness of guru, because here in teaching of Astavakra.

There is no staircase of step by step. It is a direct jumping.
Astavakra says there is no law, no yam­niyam, there is no
ladders/staircases. You can liberate your self with in minutes by
listening. Some fools can declare immediately that they are
liberated. To bring these fools in order these sutras are given below:

21 One who consider his body like other bodies.

The great­soul sees his body in action as it is someone else's, so how can
he be disturbed by praise or blame? 3.10

A man who looks his own body like other bodies and keep a
distance with his body like other bodies how can he be perturbed in
praise and criticism. Happiness and un happiness both are use
less for him because in both the conditions the waves arise in the
mind. Not arising of the waves in the mind is called stability.
Ashtavaksa says Hey janak if you are perturbed by respect or
disrespect or otherwise if any kind of wave arises in your mind then
you have repeated my saying. You have not realized the actual
truth.

``

22 One who is desire less in salvation, on one can compete him.

 Seeing this world as pure illusion and devoid of any interest in it, how
should the strong­minded person feel fear even at the approach of death?
3.11

Who is looking this world as imaginary and who has crossed over
all kind of desires, crossed all barriers of this worldly attractions
that knowledgeable person will never fear from death.
Whose desires and all questions have vanished, who feels all
the bondage what he was thinking are all delusions. There is nothing
left to ask will he be afraid of to seeing the death coming? If at all any
kind of fear or any thing else left with in then you have not become
desire less. You are supposed to do a lot of things more. You have
just heard the teachings it has not pierced into your heart.

Who can be compared to the great­soul person whose mind is free from
desire even in disappointment, and who has found satisfaction in self­
knowledge? 3.12

The saint who is satisfied with this self realization and who
had no desire of salvation he cannot be compared to any one.

``

A man is not interested in salvation. Who is self contented. Who

does not want any thing? He says I am happy as I am. Is it not
enough. I want nothing. I know myself. I got every thing. Such
person cannot be compared with any one. So hey Janak do you
desire salvation? Have you any desire to be free?
As you are saying that you have experienced the oneness of divinity is
it enough? Do you want any thing more? If the god comes in front of
you and say janak tell me what you want you ask any thing I am ready
to give you. Would you have any thing to demand .Would you like to
beg some thing from god or would you be able to say no thanks I do
not want anything. Will you be able to say so without any hesitation?
Your mind will not say if god wants to give then why you are refusing
let us beg something. God himself is saying you can have whatever
you like so at that moment will you spread your begging bowl in front
of god, will you ask some thing from god, Astavakra is saying all this
so that janak could judge himself properly.

Who know this universe is like a dream and it is actually nothing. How
can he see this is to gain and this is to renounce. Astavakra says now
Hey janak look; I have said that a knowledge person will never be
interested in money, power and position etc because of my teaching
do you think to renounce the kingdom and palace. Is their any
question with in you that if it is so then I am ready to renounce all this
because wise man does not desire all these. So I should leave all and
go to Himalaya. If you are thinking like this then you are not the wise
person because wise person neither desire for gaining nor desire for
renouncing. Now I am asking you there may not be any desire for
enjoyment but their may be some desire to renounce within because
desire to renounce is also the same face of enjoyment. Enjoyment is
saying grab renouncement is saying leave but mind is set on one
thing.

``

Money, power, position, enjoyment, every one want to get

more and more but one thing is clear that neither the grabber
is satisfied nor the denouncer is satisfied. Because the
enjoyer wants more enjoyment and denouncer also
supposed to do more renouncing. Both are looking at more.
In the race of more and more only the illusion is. Denouncer
says I have renounced but much more to be renounced. Run
for renouncement is going on. Durvassa is supposed to leave
anger and Vishwamitra is supposed to get rid of his pride.
Even Bhagawan Parshuram is supposed to leave anger.
Actually the wise person is one who does not desire to grab
and does not desire to renounce and who is far from both.
Astavakra is not giving any place to janak to run away so far
there was retraction on enjoyment. There was place for janak to
run. Now Astavakra says a wise person don’t do all this don’t
keep money, power, position, palace. There was place for Janak
to say something that if it is so then I am ready to leave all this. If
janak was supposed to say okay if this is the condition then I am
ready for it. I am going to leave all this keep the kingdom I am
going. The door was still open till now for janak. Now that door is
also closed by Astavakra. Now there is no place to run. Now the
place is for awakening only. Now he has to accept the truth. If it
has happened it has happened if it is not happened, not
happened. Wise person never say that gold is sand he says gold
is gold and sand is sand but both are use less. As like enjoyment
is a doing like wise renouncing is also a doing and astavakra
teaching is this that no doer and no enjoyment no renouncing.
Only observer only witnessing because renouncement is also a
doing and enjoyment is also a doing. In both you become doer.
Being the doer it creates the pride of a doer ship. You just
become witness. Just observe the happening standing for away
from body.

He who has left the desire and hopes he has washed away
his inner dust. He is not affected by getting anything luckily
and unluckily. He becomes neither happy nor unhappy.14.3

``

Who is not hopeful for any thing that it should be like this or like
that? For a man who is desire less and who is with out hope he
has no tomorrow. His tomorrow is vanished. There is one
tomorrow which is suppose to come that wakes up the hope
who has washed away his past and future he enter immortality.
He never feels pleasure or pain by getting any thing by good
luck or by bad luck he takes all by the grace of god.
Astavakra says janak just you look within you judge yourself
on all these matters. If you find out all is okay then what ever
you have said is okay if you are compromising on all these
then you take back your words. You don’t believe just by
 listening me. You awaken yourself.
In real my awakening cannot be your awakening my light
cannot be your light my eyes will work for me and your eyes
will work for you. I walk on my legs you walk on your legs.
You need your eyes. You need your light. You just recognize
properly. You do not be influenced by me. Don’t fall on to
follow on, get awaken your self and be a observer.

ASTAVAKRA
CHAPTER 4
Astawakra has raised few questions to JANAK who is just born as a
child of wisdom. JANAK is very happy. New waves arising in the
heart. What ever has happened, happened, he is not able to believe.
On one side JANAK is under struck and on the other side ASTAVAKR is
tightening his arrows to shoot. JANAK is replying in these lines. JANAK
has expressed his thoughts which are quite strange. The test was quite
different. The guru has first closed the doors of actions and later on also
closed the doors of renunciation. He did not leave any scope to

``

escape. If JANAK had felt a little darkness within, these lines would
not have arisen. The guru placed the mirror in front and JANAK kept
his heart what so ever appeared in the mirror is pure.1.4

23. Awaken never attached with enjoyments

Playing with sense organs wise person is never attracted. The fool is
never unattached when he wants sense gratification. Self
enlightened and peace loving person is never after the sensual
pleasures and a person always after materialism is never equal to
the wise person.

One who has neglected himself and not deserving worldly things
and has conquered the passions, anger, ego, greed and lust etc
is called Arihant. This is the last stage of consciousness and
beyond this there is nothing. This can never happen to foolish
one who is loaded with a heavy load of knowledge.
The learned and ignorant both live in this world but there is a
difference. The ignorant takes the world seriously where learned
one takes the world smilingly. If the wife of an ignorant dies he is
weeping and crying but when the wife dies of a wise person he
takes the body to the burial ground but not weeping and crying. He
feels that the curtain in the drama has fallen and the show is over.
Individually he is only a witness and he never forgets it.

If a learned one runs away from this world then where is

the wisdom? He has not realized that he is neither doer nor enjoyer.
He is only a witness, witness is always standing behind. This cycle
goes on

``

as like life/death, defeat /victory, Respect/insult. The learned under

stands it very well and is never entangled and is always alive to
the fact. The learned experience is that “I “am a witness and “I” am
the observer and this awakening is always with him day night.1.4

Having desire for a position all deities feel miserable but yogis are
never happy even after getting that position.2.4
Even Indra Dev and other deities are miserably poor who desire
for a position but it is really wonderful that yogi don’t feel happy
i
even after getting all those. Gods like iInderdev are demanding
the position like a poor man while they have got lot of already but
their demand never ends. You may be at a higher position but you
are always poor because of your demand for more.

Oh god it is strange that a yogi is in that higher position but still never
feels proud or happy. He is not at all poor because his poverty is
already lost. Deities having every thing but still die for more.
So long you can be happy you can also be unhappy. It is not possible
that unhappiness is lost and happiness remains. Happiness and
unhappiness go hand in hand and they are the two sides of the same
coin but yogi is stationed in his position where both are absorb. The
position for which deity’s desire and die too, yogis are still not happy
at all. Yogis are absolutely usual in their behavior.

JANAK says to ASTAVAKRA with wonder: Prabhu, one who’s

sought by every one and ages after ages the search is going on
but in vain, while the yogi gets it easily with out any efforts with in
and with out. The sky is blank for him with out any happiness or
pain. There are no clouds of pain and pleasure. 2.4

``

24 Awaken have no concern with sins and virtue.

No relation between the sky and the smoke
As there is no relation between the sky and the smoke similarly the
contented and learned person is not affected by sins and virtues. You
must have seen the smoke rising from the kitchens /factories and
other places but there is no affect in the sky. The smoke vanishes
after some time and the sky is as it is. Since the birth of this universe,
the smokes from different places have tried to pollute the sky but sky
is not disturbed at all. Similarly the yogi is not disturbed by physical or
mental pains and pleasure. Worldly incidents do not affect his witness.
His mind and intelligence is not disturbed by happenings of this
world.4/3

Article No. 25. Awaken one sees the whole world as soul.
IV/4 One who has realized this whole world as one soul he has
destroyed the difference of I, you & he etc. The mahatma who has
taken the whole world as a soul can never be disturbed by any one.
JANAK says I am one with the universe. What is going on will go on,
what is to be happen will happen. Be only a witness and enjoy the
happenings of the world. The mahatma who has realized the whole
universe as one soul then what is there to change. Why to change,

``

what to change, how to change. Let it happen what ever is

happening. You just watch as witness.
The enlightened person is only in the present and not in the past
or future. The present only teaches the learned and he acts
accordingly. H e is not working or acting himself but something
within guides him to do. According to the learning of time just as
summer takes him to shadow, winter compels him to use woolens.
Every action comes automatically from within. You are simply
seeing what is happening but remember you are not doing any
thing your self, some one else is making you to do what ever is
being done, what ever happens it will happen whether good or
bad, you are not the judge to decide, no account of good or bad
and no account of sins or virtues are to be kept by you. Just as
nature takes its own course without any efforts, similarly life goes
on. 4/4

26. Awaken one knowing divinity becomes divinity.

In all types of living being from BRAHMA to an ant, power to desire
and the renouncement of desire is with the learned one. The learned
person never says this should happen like this or not like this. He is
free from both. For him there is no good or bad, every thing happens.
It makes no difference for him whether it is defeat or victory, pain or
pleasure. I will just go on seeing. I will see life, I will see death. Once
the inner self is enlightened the whole life changes. 4/5

Any one who considers himself and god as one is enlightened

within and as such there is no fear for him .The whole problem
is due to duality when you and God are two. Each and every
problem is solved when you understand non duality.

``

Scriptures say:­Who knows divine he become divine. What ever the

Janak has replied to Astavakra It seems that Janak has got it. He is
awakened and he is witnessing all now. He has known the divinity.
He has become divine. It looks very clear by his statements. 4/6

You renounce physical pride and get salvation. Ch 5 Verse 1

ASTAVAKRA says­ JANAK as you have no relationship with
any one even though if you want to renounce some thing do
one thing you renounce physical pride and get salvation.
It is very big web if JANAK accepts that he has to renounce
physical pride then it will be very serious problem. It will be
clear that the revolution of knowledge has not subsided.
You have no companion. If you had any companion you would have
left him. No one goes with you, no one comes with you. You don’t
bring any thing while taking birth and you cannot carry any thing with
you while leaving this world. Hence you are pure. Materialism spoils
you and you are not the owner of any thing. If you want to leave any
thing, it is sufficient to know that nothing is yours. Renouncement
happened. There is no need to go any where in Himalya. You can be
free from all just by one small experience that nothing is yours.

What do you want to renounce? I am seeing a seed of desire

within you to renounce. If it is so then there is one thing worth
leaving that is your exception that you are a body. This is to
renounce. You renounce this and get the salvation. Ch 5 Verse 1

``
 CHAPTER NO :06
Article No. 28. I am like the sky and sea.
THESE VERSES OF JANAK’S ARE STRANGE: It seems
ASTAVAKRA had gone deep in JANAK’S heart. These words spoken
through JANAK are as ASTAVAKRA wanted the reply of JANAK is the
same. He expressed that, he is like the sky and this world is like a pot
created by nature. This world created by nature is identified as a pot
made by pot maker. This is the wisdom. Therefore neither there is
renouncing nor acceptance nor dissolution within. 1/6

JANAK expressed quite revolutionary thoughts here. I am like a sky

and this world is like a pot which is created and destroyed again and
again. The sky is not affected by all this. JANAK says that he is like the
sky. This is the only wisdom. Which knowledge you are talking about
to get that I should get? I have already got the wisdom that is all, I got
it.

JANAK says; ­ there is no enjoyment, no renouncement, no

salvations, and also no dissolution. I am like a sea and the world is like
waves in the sea. This is the wisdom. Hence there is no renouncement
and no dissolution. JANAK said, guru dev don’t try to confuse me now.

``

Now you cannot confuse me. Actually you have awakened me

and temptation is of no use now. What temptation you are giving
me now that I should know this and be liberated.
I am already liberated. I was liberated at that moment only when you
said: you just be liberated. What is more there for liberation? Again I
should go in search for salvation. You are saying to awake the
desire again. Leave it, now I will not come in this temptation.

Janak certainly awakened. He says this world though seems separate

from me but it is not separate from me. The sea waves are product of
the sea. Waves may come and go but sea remains. I know that I am
the sea and its products can’t affect me. This is the only wisdom and
knowledge. I am unaffected by outer things and I am as I am always,
what to get and what to leave, all are with in me. Where is salvation
and where is liberation. I am already liberated.2­3/6

I am in all and all are in me, question does not arise for gaining or
renouncing any thing. This knowledge is above all. JANAK asked
whom are you teaching that we should remain the same in
happiness and un happiness, where is happiness and happiness
and where is life and death, when both are the same and that
both are I. When a person becomes neutral /zero, he becomes
one with the whole. There for it has been written in scriptures that
who knows the divinity he become divine.

These four small verses when Janak said. Astavakra was very happy.
Astavkra tried to pull Janak up the last, last temptation was given for
renouncement and wisdom. Renouncement and wisdom these two
are the last barriers who crossed over these two he is liberated
one.4/6

``
 CHAPTER NO:7
29 World and salvation both waves are arising within me.
In this chapter JANAK’S sutras are related to the last four sutras of
chapter 6th not much difference in the main idea. ASTAVAKRA is
asking JANAK to gain the knowledge. JANAK says you are telling
me to be learned now. How strange I am already what you want to
be. I have nothing to learn any more. JANAK says to ASTAVAKRA
you are teaching me the real truth which I already have within me.
You are confusing me and tempting me. Please do not do so now.
What ever was to happen has happened. The only thing is that I
was confused by all scriptures till now. After discussing with you I
have under stood that I am already there where you want me to
be. It does not mean that it was not there, it was already there but
I was not aware, I was not remembering, that was within me I was
searching out side, when I peeped within it has happened.

When Gautam budha awakens some one asked him what he got,
he said that­ he has got nothing new. What was already there
within found now? I got it now. So far I was not aware of.

``

Whether the waves rise or die on the sea surface it makes no

difference to sea. JANAK says thousands of thoughts rises but they do
not affect me within. Water does not stay on the surface of lotus leaves
though it is in water similarly these thoughts do not affect me. These
are the product of mind. My soul is present with in and it does not
allow any idea or events to effect me, may be happiness, worries, love,
hate, anger or compassion. These waves rise in by nature and they
move here& there and subside when no Importance is given to them.
JANAK says that the world and salvation both are like waves which I
observe but no effect. I have nothing to do. I simply see the drama
which is being played by nature. I don’t choose. There is no morality
and no destination. All is lost. I am happy as I am. JANAK said to
ASTAVAKRA some time anger comes, some time greed comes and
some time lust comes all wanders here and there but I am going on
seeing all. I am not concerned now. I have no more desire to be like
this or like that. I am happy as it is. I don’t want to change any thing.
1/7

7/2 In the sea of my soul all kind of waves arise and destroy but there
is no affect on my soul. I am not gaining or loosing any thing. You are
saying me to be liberated, what you are saying what ever is happening
is happening; let it happen I am not concerned. THERE IS NOTHING
TO CHOOSE. Janak says. What ever is happening I am just seeing.
Nothing will change by my doing. There will be no change in nature.

Astavakra says:­ When you have got the wisdom then you renounce
all this. Now you leave the pride of physical body and get the
salvation. Janak says this body, wealth and this kingdom is not mine
which I should renounce, I have never catch hold of these things
which I should leave. This has happened and will be lost
automatically. I can only see that because of all this I am not in profit
or loss. It is very strange Janak has said. It is the actual
renouncement.2.7

``

7/3 The world is only a dream for the bottom less ocean in me. I am
very quite and with out any form and so this world is only a dream.
Actually this world is nothing, it is only a dream we see while sleeping.
Since we are not awakening so we accept the dream. The moment we
are awake where is the dream. Just think what type of this world would
be if you have no desire? No desire to get any thing. There is nothing
to get. All is already gained. Then will you be able to live in this world,
you will find that your world is totally changed. It is all mirages, you see
some thing from a distance and after reaching there you see nothing.
The bottom of the ocean does not feel the waves. Just ask the divers
whether there are any waves in the depth of sea. In the depth of sea
there are no waves. Waves are only on the surface. In that depth
within all is peace full, desire less and the bottom is always peaceful
and undisturbed and that is me. Your imagination is your world. 3­4.7

I AM only a consciousness and the world is like an Indrajal which is

fake and unreal. What so ever happens that happens by nature and it
is always good. There is nothing to accept or reject. Now all these
imaginations are waste. This is awareness, when you under stand that
nothing good or bad, nature access and there is nothing to choose and
nothing to renounce. I am only witness. That is all. World is like the
game of miracles which is being seen on surface but actually there is
nothing. It looks alike but not. Where should I imagine, what is right
and what is wrong. Now I have left all these imaginations. This is the
awakening, this is the experience. Enjoyer and denouncer both are
choosing, enjoyer chooses to enjoy and denouncer chooses to
renounce. Denouncer feels if he renounce then he will be happy.
Actually who says I am happy he is a saint. Happiness would not come
from some where it is already there. Knowing himself is happiness.
There is no happiness in renounce or illusion. Until and unless you are
active in actions there is illusion. As soon as you are witness all are

``

over. Astavkra geeta’s principle essence is that if you desire you

just become witness at this very moment and unless you are going
on trying to change some thing or other you would be going on
creating new problems for you. There are the actions of so many
births you would not be able to change. 5­6.7
 CHAPTERNO:8

30. Salvation is the eternal peace of your heart and mind.

When you knowingly­try to get some thing or to renounce you are

getting confused in the same old web. When you are gaining –you
are laughing, when you are loosing –you are crying that is your
bondage.
Astavakra first given the temptation to Janak, Janak passed in the exam,
temptation gone waste, Janak not came in to the web. What ever
happened has happened really. Now Astavakra is giving inspiration to
Janak. What ever you are saying is right. Exam is over you passed it.

When you want some thing, when you think, when you
renounce, when you grab and when you feel unhappiness, when
you feel pain ­ then you are bonded.

ASTAVAKRA is giving very clear cut statement that your doing

is bondage. When you are active, when your mind is active, the
waves arise and you fall in bondage.

When your mind is fully inactive you become liberated. You just
search those moments where your mind is inactive. When you desire
something you are under bondage. It is not being said that who wants

``

money they are in bondage. Even if you desire the god, you have
fallen in bondage. In other words:­
DEKHA HAI HAR CHAH BANI ­ AAKHIR MAI DUKH KA KARAN

PHIR BHI CHAHE MOCKCHH ‘ADHAR’ CHAHNA AAKHIR NA CHHDA.

Neither you are getting any thing by grabbing nor by leaving

because you are grabbing the same what are you leaving. In both
heart become doer. Heart requires nothing but rest.
Have you seen any saint­yogi dancing in happiness? No one looks
happy who have renounced the world, who have dropped all the
mountains and bridges of desire, they should dance in happiness,
they should be looked happy but no one looks happy, all are sad,
looks like they are in pain, they are in grief, just dry faces, empty
eyes, all look like dead bodies. Even you are not able to see that
renouncing is not at all useful. It is completely wrong. Enjoyer is
not wise, denouncer is also not wise. Both are not good
enough.1/8

Some thing to hold, some thing to leave, both are bonded,

both are actually mad. When you don’t want anything when you
don’t think, when you don’t renounce, when you don’t grab. In
that position you are neither happy nor unhappy, at that time
you are free, you are liberated.
Where is liberation? Where is salvation? Perhaps you think that it is a
geographical place some where. No it is not like that it is your peaceful
state of mind and heart. When there is no desire you are always free.

But you look, to whom you are calling saints they also desire.
They desire salvation. In ASTAVAKRA view they are not saints,
they are confused and they are under delusion. 2/8

``

When your heart is attracted by something then you are bonded and
when your heart is un attracted then you are liberated. These are
very clear cut statements and very near to truth. When you are
looking but not looking, when you are walking but not walking, when
you touch something but you are not touching, when you hear some
thing but you don’t hear all is going on but you are sleeping within as
witness, with out attachment, without emotion, you never disturbed.
All is coming and going but you are there stand still as observer in
neutral position that is called salvation. That is called liberation.3/8

When I am there bondage is there. When I am not then is liberation.

Think like wise and do not desire, do not grab and do not renounce
simple, wonderful but very difficult. It is very simple but very hard.
When “I” is there then this “I” is making you far from the god. Until and
unless “I” is present there is a distance between you and god. When I
know that He is only all around, when I has gone, you entered the
kingdom of god, you entered in divinity and that is all.

Astavakra statements are very clear cut but it is very difficult. Here
are very big delusions. Enjoy can be under­ stand. Renounce every
one can understand. But do not desire, do not renounce, what is this,
it is big confusion, do not enjoy and do not renounce then what to do,
we can always understand two but we can not understand oneness.

IT WILL BE DEFINED LIKE THIS:­

Do not enjoy­do not run, do not press, don’t waste your energy in
enjoyment, do not burn yourself in renouncement, there is proud of
doing and ego in both. You are not supposed to be doer. You are
just supposed to be witness. What ever happens you just look on.
You just become observer and see what ever is happening.

``

We will just say oh god as you like. I am not different from you. I
have no aim. In this situation, in this wisdom where is pleasure, where
is pain, where is bondage and where is liberation. All two vanished.
One live behind, you just become one with whole .Who has become
one with whole is liberated. That is the salvation.
 Chapter nine :9 ASTHAVAKRA SAID

31 LIFE IS DUALITY.. AWAKEN ONE NEVER SEE DUALITY.

Work done and work un done are duality. Duality never rest in peace.
You wanted to do that is enough for bondage. You have done it or not
done makes no difference. You want to do it has become the reason
for bondage. Man is not only concern what he does. He concerns even
what he wants to do. In both situations he has the desire and so he
becomes bonded. ASTAVAKRA asks JANAK;­ tell me who has
stopped thinking? Who has got the peace from thoughts and duality?
Who has destroyed his pain, grief or sadness?

If life is there duality is there. Life is full of duality. You feel happy
sometime you feel un happy some time. When you wake up in the
morning you sleep in the night. When you work you take rest just like day
after night. Every thing is lined up, duality will continue. This life is
running in duality. Once the duality fall, every thing falls. That is why you
cannot see the god. What ever you see is surrounded by duality. Where
ever duality breaks there you will find man has become body less and
worldly life vanishes. Life is the same form of form less; life is

``

same face of face less. To know this it is better to live neutral and
desire less in this world. Know this by realizing yourself by your own
experience confidently, not listening by others, not by loan, not by
other one knowing, When you look within you will know that how this
duality can be stopped. How these thoughts can vanish. In every
onethere is one such place within where these thoughts, where these
waves cannot reach, that is your centre place. That is your real face.

After knowing this confidently the man sits within himself that is
called Uddaseen. It means sitting within his own depth. Sitting in such
way that no wave from outsides reaches to you within. People think
that Uddaseen means who are sad in life, who are depressed with life
they are Uddaseen. Actual meaning of Uddaseen is to sit within and
start to see worlds play. There he becomes witness; he says I am just
observing the happening. Meditation is neither peace nor un –peace, it
is the state of mind. As a witness when you see peace rising but you
are not attracted. When you see unrest arising but you are not
perturbed. You look that these all are minds play and these will be
going on. I am not concerned.

Nirved means where you are not concerned with any

thoughts. Waves are not reaching to you within. All kind of
knowledge, all kind of waves are there in scriptures and Vedas.
Nirved means where there is no wave at all. No waves arise in the
mind, no wave’s rise from the heart. You just sit beyond both of
them and become on looker, you just become the witness.

You are not concerned of any kind of waves; emotional wave’s

rises in heart and mind you are not attached with both. When you will
become third over and above these two then you will enter in to
Nirved, you will enter into Uddaseen. To know this you live in this
world oath less and neutral then you will understand and experience
the

``

meaning of Nirved and Uddaseen. ASTAVAKRA says: ­ Oath less,

who has taken the oath he will deceive himself because that is
pressure. Oath means very strong will, oath means stub ­born
mess.
Oath less: ­ means who has no desire, who wants nothing, who
doesn’t want to be like this or that. Your experience, your wisdom is
your oath; there is no need further. You have understood that is
enough. It is not necessary to take the permission from the society.
Once we know that two plus two are four that is sufficient. There is
nothing to take oath that I will make two plus two four. Don’t do it by
oath, do it by love and do it by wisdom. Don’t do it by any kind of
pressure, do it from within. It is very contradictory. ASTAVAKRA
says do not take oath. Let your knowledge and your experience
become renouncement in your life that is enough. Renouncement
must not be brought. It must come behind your experience. 1/9

Article No.32 Desire to live and enjoy never ends.

People desire to live, enjoy the things and to acquire the
knowledge, never comes to an end. If you see this world carefully you
will not have any interest in it. Who has recognized the uselessness of
life; he will have no desire to live such a life. His desire will disappear.

When some one lucky looks life properly then he become

free from the desire to live, desire to enjoy and desire to know.9/2
9/3. Some one who is lucky enough will see the reality of life and he will
say I have seen all this, there is nothing in it. It is use less and waste, after
experiencing this he attain peace. To see like this by his own eyes, after
realizing this with his own experience that they all are use less and

``

worthless he attain peace. He will be free from the desire for life,
desire to enjoy or desire to get and he attain peace.
9/4. As you are certain that this world is useless peace begets
within. What is that time and what is that position where duality will
not effect with pleasure or pain? Just neglect them and be satisfied
in what ever you have got. Then you will be happy. ASTAVAKRA is
saying. Who is contented with what ever he has got. What ever is
available in the present that is sufficient then there will be no run,
then there will be no desire, then there will be only peace.

9/5. There are so many religions; there are so many yogis and
maharishi, which have their different views. What is the use of all
this. Who will be such a fool who will not understand this small
thing and get in peace? What is the use to fall in so many religions?
What is the use to hear the so many religious leaders, to whom you
will hear he will attract you, every one has his own arguments.
They have dedicated so many lives to create these religions.
Certainly these yogi’s­ and Maharshi’s were very knowledgeable.

A wise person never indulges in religions. Don’t go for

HINDUS, MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANITY, Jainism and Buddhism.
Because one thing is certain that there is no truth in religions
otherwise there must not be so many religions. There must be one
religion only.

Truth is one and one only. Look at this and neglecting all the
religion, one can get the peace. 9/5

33 Your Guru is with in you.

Person by neglecting every thing and adopting equanimity by his
own qualification, which cross the worldly river, is not a guru
himself?6.9

``

ASTAVAKRA is saying Guru is within you. If you can understand

you can find your guru with in yourself. Guru should tell his disciple
that what ever he has told you that could happen within you. It is
the last duty of Guru to give the disciple the freedom from himself.
This is the last work to do by Guru for his disciple that the disciple
should get rid of his teacher. It has been seen that disciples are so
bonded to his Guru that they forget the actual cause to make Guru
and start to sing the song of his Guru day night. There fore it is the
duty of the master to get relived the disciple from him self too.
Who could not do so, he is not the real master and it happens
some time that master himself becomes your bondage.

9/7 When ever you will see all bad deeds are there in all
creatures and with world immediately you will feel free and will sit
within. When ever you will realize the truth that this body senses
and bad habits are there in every one, at the same time you will be
free from all kind of bondage and you will sit within.
9/8. To know this world full of desire, you leave all desires
and sit within. Desires are the world, there for you leave all kind of
desire. Desires means not only the desire for sex, any kind of desire,
desire is only world. No desire­no world. Therefore you leave all the
desire. When you will renounce the desires it means the
renouncement of world. Renouncement of desire is the renouncement
of world that is the actual thing to understand. People are not under
standing this and run away to jungle and Himalaya’s along with their
desires. How can they be free from anything when the desire is there
within and how can they see divinity when desires are there with them.

CHAH GAI CHINTA GAI MANVA BEPARVAH

JIS KO KACHHU NA CHAHIYE VO HI SHAHNSHAH.

``

After renouncing the desire you live where ever you want to live
there is no difference, you live where ever you like. As you are,
where ever you are, you are alright and there is nothing to do
anything. You know only one thing that I am witness. One thing is
to be remembered always that you are observer.
The link of desire is your world; you want to be some thing. Desire to
be something is the reasons of slavery. I am happy in what ever I am
possessing I want nothing more. Who ever know this he is liberated,
he is free from all kind of bondage, then you live in palace or in a small
cottage that makes no difference. If desire has gone JANAK then you
live where ever you like. You are free. You are liberated.8/9

CHAPTER NO ‑10
Article No.34. Desire is your main enemy.

``

Desire is your enemy; wealth is the reason of destruction. Reason of

both is religion. You leave all and make waste all of them. You leave
the religion and neglect every thing. Generally every religion say to
leave the desire and wealth but look what ASTAVAKRA is saying;
ASTAVAKRA is saying leave the religion, even lord Sri Krishna also
said the same thing in Sri mad bhagawat geeta eighteenth chapter
sixty sixth sutra that you leave all religions and surrender to me I will
destroy all your sins and bless you with salvation. Desire is your
enemy and when ever we pronounce desire our intention goes to
desire of lust and desire of sex and all other desire disappears why it
is so?

All the scripture of the world tells desire for sex is your enemy.
Where as, because of the sex power only the world is being
created and it has been written in “Atampuran” that:­
Desire of sex has won the lord Brahma, desire of sex has defeated
the lord Shanker and desire of sex has defeated the lord Vishnu. No
one is bachelor all of them. Who has won the desire of sex? All has
been defeated by desire of sex. In reality sex power is only creating
the whole world even the birds and beasts and all other creature. Sex
is the main stream for creation. If the desire of sex is not there in the
world then the life will finish from the earth. Even though sex is enemy
why? It is enemy because it never makes man satisfied. It keeps the
man hungry. Enemy is that who keeps you hungry. Which does not
allow you to be satisfied? Sex keeps man always hungry. Enjoy the
sex after few hours you are again hungry.

Sex never allows you to be satisfied. Therefore sex is enemy.

Even all religious people are going on doing the same their
whole life. Is not it funny enough?

``

You want to be fully satisfied. To be satisfied you need peace. You

require salvation. You require divinity. Astavakra says don’t fall in the
trap of religion even. To get divinity you need not to do any thing.
You have got divinity already. Divinity is within you. It is not some
where out side. Salvation is not somewhere in future. You are in
salvation only. But you don’t know. Salvation; to be desire less is
salvation. Declaration of salvation is that you are not supposed to do
any thing. You are satisfied. You want nothing more. You declare
this when you like self satisfied, the same moment you will find your
‘self’ in peace.

Astavakra is saying don’t care even for religion. To get divinity

nothing is necessary to do. He is there within you. He is not some
where outside. He is here and now itself. To be the desire less is
the entry pass to divine kingdom.1/10

All relation between you and your friends, brothers, sisters, wife,
children, money house is like day dreaming which stay only for
few days. All these sceneries are vanishing like dream when we
see these looks like real but when we loose them we become
dumb and speechless.10/2

35.WHAT EVER YOU DESIRE ‘THINK’ YOU GOT IT.

Whatever you want to get? You assume that you have got it and
that ends the matter. Renouncement not required from the world or

``

worldly affairs but renouncement from desires is the best one.

You be desire less and feel the pleasure.
Where there is desire there is worldly attraction you don’t get attracted
by things. Your desire attracts you in worldly objects. No desire no
world. Therefore nothing will happen by renouncing the world. All will
happen by renouncing the desire. Even if you run to Himalaya or
jungle nothing will happen because your desire will go with you and
they will make a new world there. They will create a new kind of world
in the jungle even. That is why Astavakra is saying: Let the life reap up
by self experience and let your experience say. Then it will be easy to
get peace and happiness.10/3

Only desires are binding you and desire less position is your
liberation. Once you detach yourself from the worldly affairs divinity is
not far from you. Only desires are the main problem for bondage and
slavery. Until you desire some thing you are the slave of your desire
even if you desire salvation or God you will find that you are still the
slave of your desire. When you become free from all desires then only
you will be able to say that you are liberated. Liberation can not be
gain by desiring. Liberation is getting rid of desires. However
religious, how ever best, there must not be any desires within. What
ever is available is okay. When the desires are dropped world is
dropped.

When you will be desire less immediately you will feel liberated
and it will be happen to you time and again. Just by the
detachment from the world you will feel the satisfaction within the
soul. You will sit within the soul and soul is always in peace. Soul
never wanders here and there it is your desire which wanders here
and there even after the death of your body.

``

Soul is always inactive and peaceful. No one can make it restless.

That can never happen. It is your desire which is restless. When ever
some one dies Brahman say that his soul will be wandering here and
there in search of salvation until and unless you perform the rituals.
Some other say that his last desire is not fulfilled there for the soul is
wandering, how foolish? There is no connection between your desire
and soul. You have neglected the voice of your soul the whole life and
done every thing according to your desire. How can soul be restless
she was never rest less even in living position when you were going
on neglecting her voice the whole the life. You are in delusion that soul
wanders here and there in search of peace after the death of your
body. Soul is always in peace whether you hear her voice or not. Soul
is never disturbed. It is your desire which wanders here and there and
every where. Actually that also not wanders, your Pandit and Brahman
makes you to believe all this. They make you fool for their bread and
butter. How foolish we are? 10/4

ARTICLE NO.36 BY ACTION YOU CAN NOT GET PEACE.

``

You are pure conscious and world is untrue and lie. It is such a
confusion which disappears only by knowledge. Future is also
untrue. Even after this do you want to know any thing else. There
is nothing to know. There are only three things here first
consciousnesses second this world and third one is the delusion
between both. After knowing this what is left to know. 5/10
Son, wife, body, wealth and happiness all destroyed of attached ones.
All these relations destroyed in all births. Since so many births you are
living in the same attachment. Every time you make the relation with
all worldly things. This is mine and that is mine and one day death
come and all relations break. Everything scatter, in every birth these
are destroyed. Hey janak: This kingdom, sons, wife, body and
happiness, all these are the reason of your restlessness and in every
birth all these relations are destroyed by death of your body. See what
the poet says; ­ Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Son, daughter, wife,
friend and society etc. Eak Chhoti See Jaan Aur Eatne Fareb. One so
small life and so many delusions. 6/10

You have earned lot of money and enjoyed, you have done lot of
good deeds in every birth but still you could not get peace.
LISTEN: ­ What Astavakra is saying:­ You have done lot of good
did, earned lots of wealth and accumulated many worldly things
but you have never got the peace. You have enjoyed a lot but
there is no rest. You can get rest when you are not in action. No
action means you are in peace. You stop the doing and just
become the observer. So far you have never tested peace even for
a moment. Now at least you wake up from doing. So you rest in
peace. 7/10

Article No. 37. Meditation means witnessing.

``

Even after doing all type of deeds you have taken birth time and
again. Full of grief in every birth now at least stop some where. Have
you not done all kind of acts in all the births? Now stop some where,
sit some where in peace and take rest. This is the best definition of
meditation. Just sit and keep looking on, meditation is not done by
doing, meditation means just witness. What ever is happening just
look at silently with out self interest and attachment and without any
opposition, neither this side and nor that side. Just sit in neutral gear
and observe all, you will enter into the kingdom of divinity.8/10

CHAPTER NO:11

38. He who knows truth certainly by his own experience.

``

Unmoved and undistressed, realising that being, non­being and change

are of the very nature of things, one easily finds peace. 11.1

Who ever understand this confidently is peaceful. By reading or

hearing you must have known something but that is not your
experience. A person who is flawless and worriless gets the peace
easily. If you don’t know divinity till now then when will you know?
Astavakra says, who has known confidently means you know yourself,
hypnotize yourself. Confidently means who has brought in the light by
his own experience.

As an image reflects in the mirror and when you move away from
the mirror reflection disappears. Mirror is not affected. Nothing has
happened to the mirror. You just saw the image in the mirror that is
not seen by the mirror. Conscious is also like mirror, whatever
happen in front of conscious reflections are created in the mirror of
consciousness. The events end and reflection disappears but
mirror of consciousness remains empty as it is.

Zero plus zero is equal to zero, zero less zero is equal to zero. Zero
never increases and nor decreases. Who experienced that all is going
on itself by nature and I am just observing the happenings then all his
grief disappears. He becomes empty. He feels body is separate from
himself, he is not the body. Astavakra says;­ you divorce the body.
You are not concerned with happiness and unhappiness. Happiness
comes and goes you are not affected and concerned. Then
automatically you attain the peace. 1/11

( 39 ) HOW SELF REALIZATION HAPPENS?

Once upon a time I was very much in grief because my wife
left me. She wanted to became a Brahma Kumari, a member of
Brahmakumari’s Eshwariy Vishwa Vidyalaya H.O. Mount Abu
.According to their sect wife and husband should live like brother and

``

sister in real life. I put up the matter to my father in law, he has tried his
best to make her understand but could not succeed and she left her
father house and started ti live in BrahmKumari’s Ashram. She has
become brahma kumari twenty years back. In the mean time I have
taken care of my two sons, I got them admitted in ‘’ Shiva Shivani
public school’’ medchal hostel. How ever they completed there
education of school and started to go college, but at that time they
become out of control and I have diverted both of them to their mother,
till that time she came back from Brahma kumari’s ashram, after some
dispute and living in the city by taking a flat on rent. She has diverted
both of them to her brother’s shop Big Bansals, Hyderabad. All was
going well. But when ever I was going to meet my sons they were
stealing the eyes from me or you can say they were not interested to
meet me. Younger one was talking to me some time but elder one was
not at all interested to talk to me. This was very pain full and I was very
much in grief that my sons are not in talking terms with me. I was
feeling very sad and painful. One day I questioned my self why are you
in grief? It is not in your hand, what can you do? By doing you have
reached at this position. Now what do you want from them? This was
the major question which struck to my mind that what you want from
your sons? Then the reply came from within that I am their father they
should respect me they should behave properly. Some one said within,
that is not in your hand. It is okay that they are your sons but don’t
forget that they are separate body and they have there own way of
thinking, if they don’t like you how can you make them like. It is
impossible you can do no thing. You can do only one thing that you
don’t want any thing from them, pain will go automatically. It is the only
thing that you can do. You are in pain and grief because you want
some thing from them. You don’t desire any thing from them, pain will
go automatically and from that day onwards I left the desire to get
anything from my

``

sons. I understood that it is there will, they want to talk to me or not.

There is one saying that you can take the horse to water pond but
you can not make him to drink. When I got understood this I become
fully calm and peace full. Now there was no pain and there was no
grief or sadness within. I was sad because I desired some thing or
other from my sons and as soon as I left that desire I become happy
and peaceful. Then I have written DEKHA HAI HAR CHAH BANI
AKHIR MAIN DUKH KA KARAN. Means every desire is the reason of
your pain. You be desire less, your pain will go. After that another
thought struck to me that I should leave all kind of desires but reply
came back very fast from the heart that how it would be possible this
in worldly life, it is not at all possible to leave all desire. But it is very
true if you want peace you have to leave all desires.

I have written one line but I was unable to complete the Sher. I
remember one incident of Galib Shahib’s life. Once upon a
time Galib Shahib was sitting in his house garden with his
wife. His wife was sitting and Galib head was in her lap and
his eyes were in the sky. Galib seen a crow flying in the sky
and there is a grape in his mouth. He said his wife Begum
Begum see: Kove Ke Mounh Main Angoor Khuda Ki Kudrat.
Begum said please complete the Sher Galib Shahib. Galib
said again ; KOVE KE MOUNH MAIN ANGOOR KHUDA KI
KUDARAT. Now Begun could not keep her mouth set. She
said TUJH JAISE LANGOOR KE PAHLOO MAIN MUJH
JAISEE HOOR KHUDA KI KUDRAT. Like wise I was also
unable to complete the Sher. It has taken one year to
complete the Sher. Then I started to check all kind of desires.

You have desire for salvation. You want to do Satsang, you want to sit
with saints to get peace and salvation. According to our scripture we

``

are suppose to get rid of travelling of life and death. So you have lot of
good things to desire and I started to desire one by one all of them and
you will be surprised to know that up to one year I was going on doing
these practical in life. I was desiring I was grabbing some thing or
other whatever I was liking but all in vain, at last I have seen there is
no use of any thing to desire, there is pain and grief every where.
Behind the every desire there was pain and then I left all desire even
the desire for God. Then second line was being made that;

DEKHA HAI HER CHAH BANI AKHIR MAIN DUKH KA KAARAN

PHIR BHI CHAHE MOCACHH ADHAR, CHHAHNA AKHIR NAA

CHHODA and that is why in those days I focused my attention to
Astavakra and lord Sri Krishna after studying these two personalities
now there is nothing left to desire, nothing left to gain, nothing left to
know, there is nothing in the world which I have not got.

Realising, "I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am

awareness," one attains the supreme state and no longer
remembers things done or undone. Chapter11.and verse 6

Until there are desires and until there are hopes you will not be able
to get rid of pain. You will not be able to leave this world. Desire is the
only root cause of your world, if there is no desire there is no world.

People want to renounce the world with out understanding

that actually what they want? Desire for heaven, desire for
salvation, desire for deep meditation, desire for peace they again
forget that there also their desire is working, you are not free from
desire. Even now desires are there within; waves are rising in
your heart and mind. Your desires are not destroyed.

``

Desires means wants more, this want more makes the man to
revolve round the world. In view of Astavakra: There is only one way
to get rid of it and that is now only, very this moment. Take the
decision now only. Don’t postpone it for some other day. You just be
happy right now. Philosophy to be happy is right now. You leaves
good things to do for tomorrow. You give extension to do good things
after some time and you were going on wandering in this world in a
sleepy condition not in awakened position. Where there are the waves
of desires you loose your wisdom and you are wandering in the dark.
7/11

What ever we like we attach our self with that, what ever we dislike we
hate that there fore wise person free from both behave like a child.
There is difference in morality and religion, morality says this is right
that is wrong and religion says what ever is that is. There is nothing
wrong or right. Gentle man do all work through morality, where as no
difference in right and wrong in view of saint. Saint does nothing; he
let the things happen, what ever is happening saint is looking on. He
speaks against you some time. You are interested in female he talks
about purity. You desire for money he talks about the renouncement.
You understand the gentleman as saint; actually you are not able to
recognize the difference between gentleman and saint. Worldly
enjoyments are waste for saint; renouncement is also useless for him.
For the saint along with worldly enjoyment the renouncement is also of
no use. Now it is very difficult for you to understand but if you try to
understand you will under stand that worldly enjoyment and worldly
renouncement both are the two faces of the same coin.

Attachment and detachment but detachment both are the reason of

your bondage. For whatever we have detachment that we have with
more pressure. This is not the freedom. Wise person live like the
child

``

free from two what ever is there he is happy. He doesn’t require

any change.8/11

Person who is Always contented and desire less.

The fortune and misfortune come its own time by the grace of god.
Who know this confidently he is always satisfied. Satisfied person
neither desire nor cry. Every thing happens in own way. The
unhappiness and unpleasantness arises when you desire some thing
before time and that is not fulfilled we get annoyed and restless. We
become unhappy. Person who knows that events, fortunate or
unfortunate occur due to natural cycle and everything is happening
on its own accord he is always satisfied. Such a person never feels
dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction arises from your desire. You desire for
some thing and when not fulfill you get anger and tension. That is
why astavakra says do not desire any thing then no one can make
you disappointed and such a person is called healthy. All his senses
start functioning from inside. Such a person never worries for
anything. Neither he desire nor does he feel sorry. Because he is fully
devoted in consciousness and he is happy and self satisfied. 3/11

Life and death, happiness and unhappiness everything occurs

naturally he who knows this confidently never sets his eyes on
some thing or other. He never indulges in doing.

One day suddenly the life and death happens. In between life and
death you feel the madness of doing. We have no control over
death and birth. Then how can we claim our authority in between
the span of life and death that we are doing.4/11
Because of worries you get pain. If there are no worries there is no pain.
He who knows this he is happy and peaceful. His desire disappears and
he is free from all what so ever. The bigger is the work bigger are

``

the worries. If you want to be worry less then you become

observer or witness. Let divinity do whatever He wants to do. You
make your eyes the divine eyes. That is all; divinity should merge
in your body. All worries will disappears automatically. Due to
worries you suffer and worries come by being the doer. Do you
know this? First you understand this that worries come only by
doing; you do not try to be a doer. You try to be a non­doer then
there will be no worries and when there will be no worries there
will be no grief and no pain. Who ever know this certainly become
happy, calm and peaceful? His all desires disappear. 5/11

40. Person who says I am not the body. He got it.

I am not this body. This body is not mine. One day I have to
vacate this body like a rented house. I am only a consciousness.
Person who knows this confidently and realizes his soul is
peaceful. Who never bothers about the work done or work
undone. He slowly moves towards divinity. Once he understands
that he is not this body, he is not far away from divinity. He who
says I am not this body or mind he has taken his first step towards
divinity. Suddenly he will start to announce within that I am divine.
Such person never worries for work done or work un done. 6/11

``

I only exists from a unit of grass to divinity he who know this

confidently he is free from loss and profit, life and death, respect or
disrespect. He becomes free from all then where fear is and why to
fear and what to desire where to desire. Where is restlessness,
where is worries, where is impurity when there is all one. Such
person simply becomes natural, he becomes whole. 7/11

Having so many wonders this world is nothing. It is untrue. Once you

know this confidently you attain peace in such a way nothing happens to
you. Such person looks the world like a dream. If you feel this world is”
TRUE “that is because of your desires and expectations. Your desire and
expectation make this dead world alive. Once you remove your desire
and expectation from the life. The world becomes like a dream. Awaken
person lives in this world like that the world is no more. 8/11

Janaka said:

ARTICLE 41. I AM NOT THE SUPPOTRTOR OF THE BODY

First of all I am averse to physical activity, then to chanting and finally

to thought and worry. I am now established. 12.1

This is the state forward statement of Janak which means body works his
own way, heart moves in his own way, words moves in their own way,
we unnecessary attach our selves with them. Because of attachment
illusions begets.

First of all I came to know body dose not need my support that is moving
by own support there fore I am not the supporter of body actions hence I
have left this illusion that I am running the body. We are sleeping in the
night. Body is working in his own way. Food is being digested. We are
not needed to support body is doing that with his own support. So far I
was in illusion that I am running the body. Now this illusion is over. I
was unnecessary supporting. Further I came to know

``

that which is this expansion of speech, I have no control on this and I am

beyond this. Again I came to know this worry and chanting, these are
also not mine I am beyond all this. Now I am settled with in. Nothing is
required to do to settle in self it is enough to know that I am not doer.
Doer is lost some where. Now there is no movement within. Nothing is
getting within. Let the storm move out, no storm getting in me, no wave
getting in me.
Waves were coming when you had made the attachment with them. You
had made the connection of friend and foe, love and hate, co­operation
and non co­operation then waves were coming now no waves come in.
Now there is no connection. All the connection has broken. Now I have
left all connections. There is no relation with any one and I have settled
within self. 1.12
In the absence of delight in sound and the other senses, and by the fact
that I am myself not an object of the senses, my mind is focused and free
from distraction and now I am established with in my face less form. 12.2

What ever the attachment was there with words has gone. Because I have
seen I am beyond, I am standing behind. Words are the waves neither
good nor bad. I have experienced that soul is face less. All the
attachments are lost. Now there is no tension. There is no search for soul
even. Hence I have established in self. Now nothing left to do.

42. WHERE EVER PROBLEM ­ THERE IS MADITATION.

Owing to the distraction of such things as wrong identification, one is

driven to strive for mental stillness. Recognising this pattern I am now
established. 12.3

Janak says I am established beyond meditation. Janak is saying when

you are sick you need mediation like wise if there is pain and problem,
you need the meditation. Janak says soul never become sick­ where is
the need for medicine? Heart needs the medicine. If you are with the
heart you need medicine and if you are not with the heart, medicine not
required.

``

Doing meditation action starts. You become doer and again bondage
starts. Janak says meditation is when you are beyond meditation.
Knowing all this I am established in self beyond meditation. There is no
place for doing. 12.3

43. THERE IS NOTHING TO RENOUNCE OR GAIN.

 43. THERE IS NOTHING TO RENOUNCE OR GAIN.

By relinquishing the sense of rejection and acceptance with pleasure and

disappointment ceasing today, brahmin ­­ I am now established. 12.4

There is no rejection and acceptance now. Pain and pleasure gets in by

acceptance and rejection. Reasons for all the pain and pleasure is gaining
and loosing. Now I am established in self as I am. Now what is right and
what is wrong both gone because doer gone. Now there is no worry. Pain
and pleasure both gone hence I am established within. I have not become
some what new. I am settled within as I am.
Real happening is not in being saint; real happening is in declaring that I
am divine. Aham Brahna Asmi. Because I came to know I am not body. I
am not the heart. It must go in deep you are observer. As people are
saying God sees all you also become seer. You just see all happening.

Life is in a community going beyond such a state, meditation and the

elimination of mind­made objects ­­ by means of these I have seen my
error, and I am now established. 12.5

We Hindu’s divide the life in four communities and for castes but Janak
says caste and community all are the old webs. All division create
nuisance. Nothing will happen by divisions. Neither the Brahaman is
Brahaman nor is Sudra ­ Sudra. These are the systems of politicians
because conscious is neither Brahaman nor Sudra. Conscious is only
conscious, observer is only observer.
Learned one also misses the path some times in small matters. Once upon
a time Shankrachrya was going back after bath in Ganga one Sudra
touched him and Shankrachharya shouted Hai Sudra, get back but Sudra
was also a sage he said I have heard: you are preaching oneness of
divinity and saying all are one then where from these Sudra and

``

Brahaman have come? My body touched your body or touched your

soul? If body touched the body then all the bodies are Sudras. If the body
touched the body why are you getting mad and if I touched your soul
then soul is neither the Brahaman nor Sudra. This is your statement.
What is all this now? Shankrachharya bow down to him and said forgive
me. No one has given me such experience earlier. All this happened in
the morning dark of Braham Muhurat. Shankrachhraya later tried his
level best to search him but could not search. Who ever he was his
experience was very deep. Janak says I am not falling in caste and
community and there fore I am established in self. 12.5
Just as the performance of actions is due to ignorance, so their
abandonment is too. By fully recognising this truth, I am now
established.

Recognizing all this now I am free from actions and renouncement.

Neither doing nor leaving I am just observing and settled within. Now I
am seeing all in equanimity – awakening.12.6

44 HEARTS GETS IN WORRY BY REMEMBERING

THE GOD.
Trying to think the unthinkable, is doing something unnatural to thought.
Abandoning such a practice, I am now established. 12.7

Remembering the UN memorable heart gets in worry. Leaving the worry

of remembering I am now established. Thinking about the unthinkable
and remembering about the UN remember able man is chanting the worry
only hence leaving that all I am established within self.

Remembering the UN remember able. What to say? Wonder full.

Unreligious person is worried, religious person is more worried because

he is worried about other universe also. Earning is to be done here and
virtues are to be earned for other universe there fore his worries are
more.

``

Janak Says it is beyond limits. People are thinking about un think able. I
have left all thinking. I am empty now. Now I am not remembering the
God even. Because how can we think about some one to whom we don’t
know. It is not all possible. 12.7
He who has achieved this has achieved the goal of life. He who is of
such a nature has done what has to be done. 12.8

One who has achieved this face less form is blessed. This verse says one
who has achieved his self by meditation, chanting and worshiping he is
blessed but one who has achieved this with out doing any thing – what is
to say about him. One who has achieved the divinity with out doing any
thing, one who has just achieved by experience nothing could be said
about his bliss. One who has achieved by doing some thing or else it is
alright but how to explain his virtue of one who has achieved with out
doing any thing. Janak says I have achieved. I have achieved with out
doing any thing. 12.8

Janaka said: CHAPTER 13

45 RENOUNCEMENT AND ENJOYMENT BOTH ARE THE

TWO FACES OF THE SAME COIN.

The inner freedom of having nothing is hard to achieve, even with just a
loin­cloth, but I live as I please, abandoning both renunciation and
acquisition. 13.1After leaving the attachments from the world now I am
happy. Knowing there is nothing to gain from this world. Now I have no
attachments with any thing. I am nothing to renounce and nothing to gain
because I came to know both are the two faces of the same coin. There is
no difference. Denouncer does the same as enjoyer does. Difference is
that denouncer moves in opposite direction. Since you renounce
something to get some thing, you are enjoyer only. Denouncer also
become denouncer because desire of some thing. That desire it self
become enjoyment for him.

Enjoyer has the dream of renouncing and denouncer has the dream of
enjoyment. Enjoyer is impressed by denouncer and denouncer is

``

impressed by enjoyer. Denouncer desires all that hence he desire for

heaven. It is very difficult to recognize a person like Janak. He is neither
denouncer nor enjoyer. He speaks such a language, neither the denouncer
is able to understand nor enjoyer is able to understand. “Enjoy” one can
understand. “Renounce” one can understand. But neither enjoyment nor
renouncement, no one understands. Hence these valued verses of Janak
and Astavakra left by the masses. But who ever have touched these they
become Swami Vivekanand and Krishna.
46 ACTIONS DONE BY BODI IS NOT DONE BY SOUL.

Sometimes one experiences distress because of one's body, sometimes

because of one's speech, and sometimes because of one's mind.
Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal of human life.
Recognising that in reality no action is ever committed, I live as I please,
just doing what presents itself to be done. Any action done by body is not
done by soul. Knowing this, what ever I have to do I do with pleasure? I
am aware of the fact that I am doing nothing. There is no running of
doing. No laziness no refusing. What ever comes on the head I do
pleasurably.

Yogis who identify themselves with their bodies are insistent on fulfilling
and avoiding certain actions, but I live as I please abandoning attachment
and rejection. Janak says: ­ enjoyer is attached with the body. Yogi is also
attached with the body. Their attachments are different. Denouncer
attachment is to sit in meditation, to learn breathlessness etc. Yogi efforts
are also focused on body only. Yogi’s efforts may be better but not
different. Base is body only. Yogi means one who has left doing and
enjoyer means one who is engaged in doing. But both are looking at
body. They are not able to go beyond the body.2­3­4.13

ARTICLE NO. 47. I HAVE SETTLED IN MY SOUL.

No benefit or loss comes to me by standing, walking or lying down, so

consequently I live as I please whether standing, walking or sleeping.
Janak says I am the same even if I am sleeping or awakening. There is

``

no difference in me. Janak verses are the verses of dedication. Astavakra

is shining within Janak. Guru has raised these waves in his heart. You
just take care of one thing, Astavakra says something, becomes silence
and allow Janak to speak. Astavkra listen peacefully, to see what ever I
have said that reached to his heart or not. What ever Astavkra says that
like seed and when Janak speaks that is like flower. Hence Janak words
are more beautiful. These words are of Astavkra only which comes out
from the mouth of Janak after becoming the flowers from the seeds. I
lose nothing by sleeping and gain nothing by effort, so consequently I
live as I please, abandoning success and failure. Continually observing
the drawbacks of such things as pleasant objects, I live as I please,
abodoning the pleasant and unpleasant.5­7.13

Janaka said: CHAPTER 14

48 AWAKEN IS AWAKENING EVEN IN SLEEP.

He who by nature is empty­minded, and who thinks of things only

unintentionally, is freed from deliberate remembering like one awakened
from a dream. One who is awakening even in sleep he is liberated from
the world. Once a gentleman asked to a sage: ­ what is the meaning of
religion? The sage put off his beg on the ground. Again he asked: ­ what
is the importance of religion in life. Sage put up his beg on his solder and
moved. It means first sage said leave all, all are waste. Second time when
he had put up his beg on his solder, he said: ­ keep all on the head like a
play, because when all are waste, there is no meaning in renouncement or
enjoyment. Lord Krishna says: ­ Yaa Nisha Sarv Bhuttanam – Tasyam
Jagarti Sanyami. Which is night for all, where all are sleeping, Yogi is
awakening there. Janak says one who is plain heart –desire less by nature
he is awakening even if he is sleeping.

``

ARTICLE NO. 49 WHEN YOU BECOME DESIRE LESS,

SCRIPTURES, WISDON AND WEALTH ARE NO WHERE.

When my desire has been eliminated, I have no wealth, friends, robbers,

senses, scriptures or knowledge. 1­2.14 When there is no desire, whole
the world is his friend. It is very wonderful statement. When desire has
vanished, there is no worry for knowledge even. Other wise desire is
being seen about who knows more. Janak says when there is no desire
then where to keep the knowledge. All has vanished.
You are not renouncing the desires even when you are going in the
world of religiousness. You are going because of desires only. You are
going to temple, bowing the head in front of the God. You are begging
so many things from the God. God never appears. God lives far away
from the heart full of desires. Only in the desire less heart God gets in.

50 IF YOU KNOW THE WITNESS YOU KNOW THE DIVINITY.

Realising my supreme self­nature in the Person of the Witness, the

Lord,and the state of desirelessness in bondage or liberation, I feel no
inclination for liberation.

If you know the witness, you know the divine. Recognizing the witness
you will be free from all desires, bondage and hopes. Because bondage
is delusion and liberation is also delusion. When bondage is delusion,
liberation will also be delusion. When we were never bonded, what is
the meaning of liberation? Witness means: ­ to stay in between duality
neither this side nor that side. No selection, neither renouncement nor
enjoyment. Let the happening happen.

``

51 SALVATIONS IS SUCH A STATE OF MIND WHERE THERE

IS NO INTEREST IN SUBJECTS.

While a man of pure intelligence may achieve the goal by the most
casual of instruction, another may seek knowledge all his life and still
remain bewildered. Liberation is distaste for the objects of the senses.
Bondage is love of the senses. This is knowledge. Now do as you wish.
15.1­2

SALVATION IS SUCH A STATE OF MIND WHERE THERE IS

NO INTEREST IN SUBJECTS. By stub born you will not be able to
create interest. As much as you will be stub born, interest will be
deeper. Not by stub born, by nature. Disinterest will be by self
experience. When the enjoyments are meaning less then disinterest
will rise automatically. Astavakra says there is nothing to know. If
you are disinterested in enjoyments that is salvation and if you are
interested in enjoyments that is bondage. Knowing this you live as
you like. There is no difference whether you live in palace or a hut.

This awareness of the truth makes an eloquent, clever and energetic man
dumb, stupid and lazy, so it is avoided by those whose aim is enjoyment.
Hence this awareness of truth is being renounceable by worldly men.
Astavakra says: ­ this awareness of truth, to be free from worldly affairs,
taste of liberation and salvation makes the talkative one dumb. Wise
becomes like a fool. Hence people try to avoid knowing this awareness
of truth. They never go near the real monk. They are afraid off to leave
desires. They are happy in their world. Hence when they meet some sage,
with folded hands they donate some thing and return to their homes
because they interested in desires.you are not the body, nor is the body
yours, nor are you the doer of actions or the reaper of their consequences.
You are eternally pure consciousness, the witness, in need of nothing ­­
so live happily. 3­4.15

ARTICLE NO. 52 ALL ILLUSIONS ARE OF HEART.

``

Desire and anger are objects of the mind, but the mind is not yours, nor
ever has been. You are choiceless awareness itself and unchanging ­­ so
live happily. If you know the science that attachments and detachments
are of heart, you got all. Soul never feels the pain or grief. If you feel
pain or grief, by mistake you have considered the heart as soul. There is
one meaning of grief that you have joined the connection of your heart
with your soul. Which can not be?
Recognising oneself in all beings, and all beings in oneself, be happy,
free from the sense of responsibility and free from preoccupation with
"me." Your nature is the consciousness, in which the whole world wells
up, like waves in the sea. That is what you are, without any doubt, so be
free of disturbance. Have faith, my son, have faith. Don't let yourself be
deluded. You are yourself the Lord, whose very nature is knowledge,
and you are beyond natural causation.

5­8.15 Have faith, don’t fall in attachments. You are pure knowledge.
You are divine. Hai Somya. Somya means: ­ some one who gets in
equanimity, having equal sight for every living being. Astavakra has not
used this word so far. Now he uses. He says Hai Somya, when someone
gets in equanimity he becomes beautiful.Astavakra says: ­ have faith.
Faith does not mean belief. By faith when you understand belief that is
not faith. Belief means, to trust on some or other. Faith means natural
feeling of consciousness. Faith has no concern with belief or trust. You
have doubts within when you trust or believe some one but there is no
doubt within in faith. Try to understand it properly.

The body invested with the senses stands still, and comes and goes. You
yourself neither come nor go, so why bother about them? Let the body
last to the end of the Age, or let it come to an end right now.

What have you gained or lost, who consist of pure consciousness? Let
the world wave rise or subside according to its own nature in you, the
great ocean. It is no gain or loss to you. My son, you consist of pure
consciousness, and the world is not separate from you. So who is to
accept or reject it, and how, and why? 9­12.15

``

ARTICLE NO. 53 ALL ARE ONE LIKE SKY. THERE IS NO OTHER

ONE SITTING IN THE SKY. How can there be birth, karma, or
responsibility in that one unchanging, peaceful, unblemished, and infinite
consciousness which is you? 15.13 Where is birth in sky? Where is
action and pride in sky? You are aloof – there is no other one. All are
filled in one and you (soul) are sitting in all. You never get in sins
because you were never had been doer. Sins can not happen through you.
You are only witness and observer. You are inexpensive and peaceful.
You are conscious like sky. Where is birth, can not. Body takes birth and
body only dies. You are eternal soul and inexpensive. Where is doing,
soul is doing nothing. Soul is action less. Then where is good or bad?
How about good action or bad action?

Whatever you see, it is you alone manifest in it. How can bracelets,
armlets and anklets be different from the gold they are made of?

‘I’ am, this notion can hold you when ‘you’ is there. When there is no
two, where “I” is and where is “you” both vanished.

Astavakra says: ­ what ever you see, there you are. Are bracelets,
armlets and anklets different from gold? If you are seeing all different
then you are blind. Gold is with in all. What does make it difference
from outer look. These so many faces are outer faces in the entire
universe but within there is one and one only.V­14/Ch­15

Giving up such distinctions as "He is what I am," and "I am not that,"
recognise that "Everything is myself," and be without distinction and
happy. 14­15.15

It is through your ignorance that all this exists. In reality you alone exist.
Apart from you there is no one within or beyond samsara. Knowing that
all this is just an illusion, one becomes free of desire, pure receptivity,
and at peace, as if nothing existed. Only one thing has existed, exists and
will exist in the ocean of being. Actually we all are one, there is no other
one. Other one is delusion. This world is because of your foolishness.
There is pleasure in being one. There will be no quarrel, no fight. Being
so many we get in pain, grief and sorrow. I have finished all such
differences.

``

You are one, you were one and you will be one. Different from this all
are false. All is dream like. There is no bondage, no salvation. If you can
see you are liberated. Then you are blessed.

You have no bondage or liberation. Live happily. Being pure

consciousness, do not disturb your mind with thoughts of, for and
against. Be at peace and remain happily in yourself,
54You can not get peace with out forgetting all.
Give up all completely don't keep any thing in heart. Let the mind hold
nothing. You are free by nature, so what will you achieve by forcing the
mind?

When the world is dream like, where the question arise to be a doer.
You are seeing the dream in the night; you can not be doer in dream.
Waking up in the morning you find, you were witness not the doer.

You don’t fall in, what to do and what not to do to get peace. What to
accept and what not to accept. Other wise this will become the reason of
your un peace. You just leave both and rest in peace within.

You remember that nothing happen through your doing. We hope all the
time in life but in vain. Always we got annoyed. Now understand this and
say, nothing will happen by my doing. What ever is happening I will be
going on seeing. Let the happening happen, I don’t want to do anything. I
will be seeing all like witness that is all.

Leave the attention from all side; don’t keep any thing in the heart.
These verses go beyond Lord Shree Krishna verses because there is no
two. There is one soul and that is divine. 16­20.15

``

CHAPTER 16

54 You can not get peace with out forgetting all.

My son, you may recite or listen to countless scriptures, but you will not
be established within until you forget everything. Just you remember that
I am witness. 16.1
Some one has worldly thoughts, some one has divinity thoughts. Heart is
full of thoughts. Thoughts may be good or bad but they are thoughts.
Remembrance of thoughts revolving in the heart, then where is peace?
Thoughts are the reason of un peace. Empty the heart, forget all. What
will happen by listening the scriptures? You will get the new waves in the
heart and heart will try to get them. Imagination of new heaven and new
salvation will arise; again you will enter in a new world. There for
Astavakra says you will not get with out forgetting all.
By remembering there will be no peace. Peace will be by forgetting all.

You may be a learned man; you may indulge in meditation, but your
mind will still long for which is the cessation of desire. You will know
with in that you have not got in truth, some thing is being left. You do
what ever you like but with out renouncing all hopes and desires you will
not get peace. Hopes and desires are the bondage which never being
fulfilled. Until and unless you get in thoughtlessness you will not get in
the kingdom of divine. 16.2

``

55 Every one is in pain because of efforts.

Everyone is in pain because of their striving to achieve something, but
no one realizes. The fortunate one attains tranquility. All are in grief by
doing and no one knows this. By doing all are in pain and they get
nothing. They are getting nothing other than pain. It seems no one
knows this. Who ever know is blessed one. 16.3

Some one who is painful even in opening and closing his eyes. He is
happy. One who does not accept any doer ship, he leaves all on god. You
want to open, open. You don’t want to open do not open. One vanishes
his all doer ship, he is happy. By leaving the doer ship, all the worries
leave you because all is left on God. There is no self desire. 16.4

56 When your heart is free from done or undone. This is

done and this is not done, when your heart is free from this duality, you
will be free from wealth, religion, sex and salvation. Astavakra says who
has forgotten this is done and this not done, all has become equal. If it
happens all right, if it not happens all right. He becomes sad towards all.
Even if salvation is there in front of him, he is not interested. Who has no
desire he is free. 16.5
One man is abstemious and averse to the senses, another is greedy and
attached to them, but he who is free from both, is neither abstemious nor
greedy. There are three situation, one is of denouncer second one is of
enjoyer and third one is of beyond both. One is attached other one is
detached, third one is beyond both none attached. Supreme position is
where there is no attachment and no detachment. Where there is no love
and no hate for any thing. Such none attached situation is the supreme
position.16.6

``

57 Desire is the main problem of man.

So long as desire, the state of lack of discrimination remains, the sense of
revulsion and attraction will remain, which is the root cause of world.
16.7

Desire springs from usage, and aversion from abstension, but the wise
man is free from the pairs of opposites like a child, and becomes
established. 16.8
The passionate man wants to eliminate samsara so as to avoid pain, but
the dispassionate man is free from pain and feels no distress even in it.
16.9

He who is proud about even liberation or his own body, and feels them
his own, is neither a seer nor a yogi. He is still just a sufferer.16.10

If even Shiva, Vishnu, or the lotus­born Brahma were your instructor,

until you have forgotten everything you cannot be established within.

CHAPTERNO: 16
Article. 54. You can not get peace with out forgetting all.
Ashtavakra said:
My son, you may recite or listen to countless scriptures, but you will not
be established within until you can forget everything. 16.1

You may, as a learned man, indulge in wealth, activity, and meditation,

but your mind will still long for that which is the cessation of desire, and
beyond all goals. 16.2

What is going to happen by reading so many scriptures, you

will not get peace without forgetting all of them. You just
remember that you are witness.
Some have thoughts of worldly things and some have thoughts of
divinity. Heart and mind are full of thoughts. Thoughts may be of so many
kind good or bad but they are there. When the thoughts are dancing in the
heart and mind then how can you get peace? How can you claim for
peace, thoughts are the only reason for unrest? You make the heart and
mind empty of thoughts. You forget every thing. What will happen to listen
the scripture? You would get new waves. They will raise and open the
new options of gaining. You will again try to fulfill them. The desire will
raise his head in new form .There will be new kind of heaven like
liberation and to get rid of travelling of death and birth.

Again you will create a new world. There fore Astavakra says you will
never get peace with out forgetting all. You will never get peace by
remembering or chanting. You will get peace by forgetting all. Don’t

``

remember anything. Just sit silently in peace that is all, do

nothing, just be empty mind. 1/16
Whether you enjoy the worldly things whether you do what ever
you like, whether you sit in meditation. You know within that
something is there which is not coming into your fold. Some thing
is there which I am not able to see. I am missing some thing. You
will know within that you have not seen some thing which is to be
seen. You have not met with divinity and truth.
Meditation is also of two kinds:­Alternative and unalternative
meditation: Alternative :­You have not forgotten the learning of
scripture but comparatively heart and mind is not disturbed as like
before. Even now thoughts are there. Thoughts are present. You
have not got rid of thoughts. So far you are in the clutches of your
acknowledgement which has not been broken so far. Until and
unless you sit in desire less meditation and empty of thoughts you
can not enter the kingdom of divinity. You will not be able to come
face to face with divinity. 2/16

Article 55. Every one is in pain because of

Afferts.Everyone is in pain because of their striving to achieve
something, but noone realises it. By no more than this instruction, the
fortunate one attains tranquillity. 16.3 Happiness belongs to noone but

``

that supremely lazy man for whom even opening and closing his eyes
is a bother. 16.4 All are in grief because of efforts. Just to bring up the
body you are in pain. Who ever is absorbing these teachings can be
the happiest person. Every one is in grief because of doing and no
one knows this reality. By these teachings luckiest person gets the
divinity and liberty. By efforts and doing every one gets pain and takes
the birth time and again. Lot of people do not know this truth. Perhaps
some one in millions may know this .Who ever know this he is lucky
enough. Then no one can stop him from liberalization. All are in pain
by doing efforts, by doing the efforts time and again they are in grief.
They are getting nothing other than suffering. It looks like that no one
knows this important truth and whoever knows this he is luckiest. 3/16

4/16 Who is troubled even by opening and closing of his eyes such lazy
persons is always in peace. Who do not accept doer ship of opening the
eye lids even? He leaves every thing on god. If you want to open, open if
you don’t want, don’t open. He leaves all his doing. He comes to an end of
doer ship. He is happy. He is greatest in laziness. He is on the top of hills
in laziness. Who has not only left the doing, he has also left the doer ship.
If he leaves only doing then he is not on the top of laziness. Lot of people
leaves doing but who leave the doer ship he is the great.

As soon as you leave doer ship, all the worries go away. Because
all is left on god what ever god want to do let him do. He him self
does not want to do any thing. Let him do what ever he likes to
do. Now there is no self desire. 4/16

No. 56 When your heart is free from done or undone.

When the mind is freed from such pairs of opposites as, "I have done
this," and "I have not done that," it becomes indifferent to merit, wealth,
sensuality and liberation. 16.5

``

One man is abstemious and averse to the senses, another is greedy and
attached to them, but he who is free from both taking and rejecting is
neither abstemious nor greedy. 16.6 Work done and work undone.
Undone means which you want to do. When your mind and heart are
free from work done or undone you will be hopeless and careless for
wealth, religion, sex and liberalization.

ASTAVAKRA SAYS:­ who has forgotten, this has been done and this
has not been done ­ all become equal, done it is okay, not done it is
okay.
His attitude becomes neglecting of every thing. What is the matter of
other things even if liberalization is standing in front of him he is no
more interested in it. Who has no desire at all he is liberated one.
5/16

Who is against the sensual pleasure is one who has renounced

the worldly pleasure. Who is greedy in contents is attached one.
Man who is far away from grabbing and leaving. He is neither attached
nor unattached who has become free from wealth, religion, desire and
salvation. He is able to know divinity. There are three position one is to
renounce the worldly desire. Second enjoyer of worldly things, third
one is over and above both. First one is renounces second one is
embraced, third one is far from both, neither renouncing nor
embracing. Where there is nothing, no love, no hate for any thing,
neither in favor nor in disfavor such neutral position is the highest
position and such type of persons are called Paramhansha. 6/16

7/16:‐ Article No. 57 Desire is your main problem.

So long as desire, the state of lack of discrimination, remains, the sense
of revulsion and attraction will remain, which is the root and branch of

``

samsara. Unless desire is there, gaining and renouncing is there. If we

understand the desire properly we will be able to understand the reason
for pain. One who will be able to understand the reason of pain he will be
able to remove the pain. Not to get rid off the pain main reason is that we
do not know the exact cause of our pain and if we do not know the reason
of pain we will be going on increasing the pain. It is must to understand
the reason.
Until desire is there you will not be able to get rid off pain. Desire is
your world, if there is no desire there is no world. People want to get rid
off the world with out knowing. In the desire of heaven, in the desire of
salvation, in the desire of peace through meditation they forget, your
desire is working here too. You are not free from desires. Even now
there is lot of waves in your heart. Heart is not in peace.
Desire means: ­ desire for more. This desire revolves the man in the
world. To get rid off this desire there is only one way and that is now it
self. To get rid off desires means: ­ to get in supreme pleasure. You
leave it for some other time or after ward and going on living in the
world in sleepy state of mind. You are not living in the world
awakening. Where there are waves in the heart, your very nature loose,
you are filled with darkness. 16.7

Desire springs from usage, and aversion from abstention, but the wise
man is free from the pairs of opposites like a child, and becomes
established. There is the same difference in policy and religion. Policy
says this is right and this is wrong and religion says what ever there is that
is. Nothing is wrong and nothing is right. A gentleman does all his work
through policy where there is no difference in right and wrong for a saint.
Saint lets the happenings happen. Sage is not a doer because he speaks
against you. You are interested in women he speaks about Brahanchatya.
You are interested in wealth he talks about renouncement. You
understand a gentleman as a saint. Actually you are not able to understand
thoroughly. Enjoyments are waste for saint even renouncement is also
waste for him. For a sage enjoyment is waste as well as along with
enjoyment renouncement is also useless. It is very

``

difficult to understand but one can understand doing practice because

enjoyments and renouncement are the two faces of the same coin.

When we are detached with some thing, we detach with that more power
fully and that is no liberation. Wise lives free from duality like a child.
He doses no efforts to be anything. He is happy as it is. 16.8
The passionate man wants to eliminate world so as to avoid pain, but
the dispassionate man is free from pain and feels no distress even in
it. Attached one runs from pain where as none attached one by
awakening gets rid off pains. He do not run, he just sees the pains as
witness and become free from all pains and pleasures. As soon as
man is able to see pain, pain looses his position. All the pains are
there because of I am body, I am this and I am that. As soon as
witness is awakening, neither I am body nor heart. I remain as
conscious and at the same moment pain disappears. 16.9

DO NOT DESIRE SALVATION.

One man is in pride of salvation and attached with his body and
feels them his own he is neither a seer nor a yogi. He is still just a
sufferer. Attachment is with the body or liberation. He is in pain.
Learned ones have no attachments with body or salvation.
Astavkra says you don’t keep the desire of salvation in the heart.
Leave all kind of desires and stand free. You remove the
umbrella of desire, same moment you will bath in supreme
pleasure. 16.10

57 If your Guru’s are Brahma, Vishnu or Mahesh even

then you won’t get peace with out forgetting all.

If even Shiva, Vishnu, or the lotus­born Brahma were your instructor,

until you have forgotten everything you cannot be established within.
Listen this wonderful statement:­ leave the small instructors even if
Brahma – Vishnu – Mahesh are your advisers nothing will happen.

``

Unless you are not awakening, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh will make you
to understand you will not. Until and unless you forget all, what ever
you have learned, until and unless all thoughts vanishes you will not get
in salvation. 16.11

Until and unless the desires are live. Renouncing, gaining and grabbing
are alive. Desire is the main problem of men. If you understand the desire
and hunger of desire, you will be able to understand the reason of grief
and pain and who ever will be able to understand the reason of pain he
will take no time to get rid off the same. He will take no time to remove
the pain. It is the main reason not getting rid off the grief and pain
because you do not know the correct reason of your grief. Till you will
not understand the reason of your grief, you will be going on increasing
your grief and pain. I would like to put my personal experience in this
regard to understand it properly.

HOW SELF REALIZATION HAPPENS?

Once upon a time I was very much in grief because my wife left me.
She wanted to became a Brahma Kumari a member of
Brahmakumari’s Eshwariy Vishwa Vidyalaya H.O. Mount Abu
.According to their sect wife and husband should live like brother and
sister in real life. I put up the matter to my father in law, he has tried
his best to convence her but could not succeed and she left her father
house and started ti live in BrahmKumari’s Ashram. She has become
brahma kumari twenty years back. In the mean time I have taken care
of my two sons, I got them admitted in ‘’ Shiva Shivani public school’’
medchal hostel. How ever they completed there education of school
and started to go college, but at that time they become out of control
and I have diverted both of them to their mother, till that time she came
back from brahma kumara;s ashram, after some dispute and living in
the city by taking a flat on rent. She has diverted both of them to her
brother’s shop big bansals, hyderabad . All was going well. But when
ever I was going to meet my sons they were stealing the eyes from me
or you can

``

say they were not interested to meet me. Younger one was talking to
me some time but elder one was not at all interested to talk to me. This
was very pain full and I was very much in grief that my sons are not in
talking terms with me. I was feeling very sad and painful. One day I
questioned my self why are you in grief? It is not in your hand, what
can you do? By doing you have reached at this position. Now what do
you want from them? This was the major question which struck to my
mind that what you want from your sons? Then the reply came from
within that I am their father they should respect me they should behave
properly. Some one said within, that is not in your hand. It is okay that
they are your sons but don’t forget that they are separate body and
they have there own way of thinking, if they don’t like you how can you
make them like. It is impossible you can do no thing. You can do only
one thing that you don’t want any thing from them, pain will go
automatically. It is the only thing that you can do. You are in pain and
grief because you want some thing from them. You don’t desire any
thing from them, pain will go automatically and from that day onwards I
left the desire to get anything from my sons. I understood that it is
there will, they want to talk to me or not. There is one saying that you
can take the horse to water pond but you can not make him to drink.
When I got understood this I become fully calm and peace full. Now
there was no pain and there was no grief or sadness within. I was sad
because I desired some thing or other from my sons and as soon as I
left that desire I become happy and peaceful. Then I have written
DEKHA HAI HAR CHAH BANI AKHIR MAIN DUKH KA KARAN.
Means every desire is the reason of your pain. You be desire less,
your pain will go. After that another thought struck to me that I should
leave all kind of desires but reply came back very fast from the heart
that how it would be possible this in worldly life, it is not at all possible
to leave all

``

desire. But it is very true if you want peace you have to leave all
kind of desires.
I have written one line but I was unable to complete the Sher. I remember
one incident of Galib Shahib’s life. Once upon a time Galib Shahib was
sitting in his house garden with his wife. His wife was sitting
and Galib head was in her lap and his eyes were in the sky. Galib seen a
crow flying in the sky and there is a grape in his mouth. He said his wife
Begum Begum see: Kove Ke Mounh Main Angoor Khuda Ki Kudrat.
Begum said please complete the Sher Galib Shahib. Galib said again ;
KOVE KE MOUNH MAIN ANGOOR KHUDA KI KUDARAT. Now
Begun could not keep her mouth set. She said TUJH JAISE
LANGOOR KE PAHLOO MAIN MUJH JAISEE HOOR KHUDA KI
KUDRAT. Like wise I was also unable to complete the Sher. It has
taken one year to complete the Sher. I started to check all kind of
desires.
You have desire for salvation. You want to do Satsang, you want to sit
with saints to get peace and salvation. According to our scripture we are
suppose to get rid of travelling of life and death. So you have lot of good
things to desire and I started to desire one by one all of them and you will
be surprised to know that up to one year I was going on doing these
practical in life. I was desiring I was grabbing some thing or other
whatever I was liking but all in vain, at last I have seen there is no use of
any thing to desire, there is pain and grief every where. Behind the every
desire there was pain and then I left all desire. Even the desire for God.
Then second line was being made that; DEKHA HAI HER CHAH
BANI AKHIR MAIN DUKH KA KAARAN PHIR BHI CHAHE
MOCACHH (Salvation) ADHAR, CHHAHNA AKHIR NAA CHHODA
and that is why in those days I focused my attention to Astavakra and
lord Sri Krishna after studying these two personalities now there is
nothing left to

``

desire, nothing left to gain, nothing left to know, there is nothing in

the world which I have not got.
­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

58 SELF CONTENTED PEOPLE ALWAYS LIVES WITH IN HIS SOUL.

He who is content, with purified senses, and always enjoys solitude, has
gained the fruit of knowledge and the fruit of the practice of yoga too. 17
The person who is self contented is living with his soul, having pure
senses and always move by himself all alone in this world he only gets
the fruits of knowledge. The person who does not desire any thing and
is fully contented is always away from senses. Senses do not affect
him. When senses are pure and under complete control then the
person is in perfect peace and tranquility. Actually this is the real slab
which every one gets into and then nothing is left to be done or
achieved. Pure senses under control perfect peace of mind, real
commitment in life with no desire of anything and living in oneself
without any ones company will make a person humble and
compassionate. Every thing impossible seems possible.17.1

Article No. 59 Learned and awaken knows he is in

all. THERE IS NO OTHER ONE
The knower of truth is never distressed in this world, for the whole
aound world is full of him self alone. 17.2

Where there is other one there is problem. When there is no other

One, no one can disturb you. Disturbance is always due to others.

But it is quite difficult to leave others mentally though it is possible physically.

``

You can go into a cave physically away from all but mind does not permit you

to be alone and that is the problem. Kill your mind and feel within yourself that
there is no one else. Develop this habit to live mentally alone then only
you can say that you are non­dual even if some one comes near you, you feel
that he/she is not different from you. You and he /she are the source having
same god, same consciousness within and there is no duality. You may be in
the crowd b feel all are one and the same. No difference at all.

Article no. 60 the person who is settled within his

soul never dies for worldly things.
III Those who are habituated to eat sweet leaves they do not
eat the leaves of Neem tree even if they are hungry.
Similarly any sense enjoyment will not please any one internally. There
will be no effect on him as winter, cold and hot weather are same for him.
He is never affected under different circumstances .Who has tasted the
nectar of Lord Ram/Krishna’s consciousness he does not get any
enjoyment by senses .One that has started enjoying the intellectual
/spiritual intercourse with him will never enjoy the physical intercourse.
Physical intercourse is temporary and limited up to body organs where

``

as spiritual intercourse is everlasting and transforms you into same.

You can never forget this state of bliss which is real and
permanent. Try to realize the ultimate truth of Krishna’s
consciousness and you will forget all materialistic possessions
which gives pain and which creates big problems for you on the
path of divinity. The more you will be far from physical body and the
materialistic world you will be able to develop the intellectual and
spiritual faculty and that is the real truth to achieve His blessing.

Article no.61 Desire less in enjoyments and salvation

are very rare.
IV such a person is rather difficult to find who is not attached to
sense enjoyments. After enjoying them you desire for more, what
you have not enjoyed –you want to enjoy and what you have
enjoyed you want to enjoy again and again. Hence this lust most
dangerous. It has to be killed. If you want to achieve something in
life this is the biggest break through between you and divinity.
Those who cross this hurdle they reach to the god but where to
find such a human being in this world who can ignore these
temptations. Even deities of inderlok could not achieve this. This
is human weakness and not a weakness of any one person.

``

V In this world we find both type of persons desiring worldly pleasure

and desiring salvation. But there is hardly any one who is above these
pleasures and desires. Even desire of salvation is desire, be it for
salvation or for very good things after all that is a desire. Desire is
always bad. One should not desire for any thing. To be desire less is
must for being neutral in life and to get real peace and contentment.
VI One who is neither happy nor unhappy in this world for him life
and death are equal. He is not concerned with profit and loss and
is always the same under both conditions. Religions, wealth and
passion do not affect a person who has realized the use less
ness of all such actions in life.

Article no. 62 Neither interested in the world nor against

VII Astavakra says only that persons is happy and content who do
not bother for this world whether it is destroyed or not.
Happenings of this world do not affect him. He is un attached to
all, he is what he is. He thinks for all and he is always peace full.
VIII What ever he hears, smells and sees, he is happy. No complain
in life. He accepts every thing given to him. He pays his gratitude to
lord for all things, he knows that he is a witness and not a doer and
that is sufficient for him to get peace in life. Nothing is left to be done
whatever has been done is done and no more to do now.

``
Article no. 63 No desire‐ no renouncement. Awaken.

IX The person who is self realize he is neither attached nor detached

from the worldly things and he has learnt that the world is an illusion
and the senses are no more there to care for. Senses are dead, world
is dead, problem is not there, no one is yours but you are in all and all
are in you. This realization is the real wisdom. Once you are a witness
–you have seen every thing and do not desire to do any thing any
more what ever is to happen will happen automatically. You need not
to do any thing whether done or undone. Nature is there to take care
of all activities in this world. You just see, keeping your self away
mentally. Again Astavakra says Janak you be a witness.

X What a strange thing that the realized soul neither sleeps nor wake
up nor moves his eye brows. This is the position of the wise person as
he does not do any action by himself. His doer ship comes to an end.
He is

``

only witness. When he is not doing any action he is also not

responsible for the results. He is worry less and happy.

X! A pure person without any thoughts is always peaceful

everywhere, he is unattached with senses. He lives in himself he is
never disturbed in life or death and is always happy..

XII: A wise person is always stable seeing all and listening all,
eating, and walking. For him nothing matters –he is what he is
always. He does not attach himself with any activities in this world.
Article no. 64 Equanimity in all.
XIII: He neither takes anything nor gives. Victory and defeat do not
affect him. Criticize does not touch him. He is above all emotions.
His body is tuned like that no climate cold ­ summer touch him.
Because he has drink the nectar of divinity and he is always lost in
Him. The worldly things do not matter to him. He is above the
world by activities though lives in this world by body. He has
enjoyed the real bliss and hence all worldly pleasure is nothing to
him. From outside he looks life less though he is full of life within.

XIV: The wise does not become passionate or seeing his wife
sensually aroused. He is also not troubled by seeing the death before
him. Passions for life and fear for death are natural emotions but for a
wise they are all killed. Passion for life is blind. Even the handicapped
do not want to die. It is all foolish……………..

``

XV learned and wise person is one who is always beloved and

unaffected by bad and good. He is not disturbed even among
tragedy in life and when there is happiness and prosperity all
around he is beloved mentally. Outer emotions do not affect him
with in. He is always the same under all emotions in his life.
XVI:The person for whom this world is almost dead and who is not
violent anytime. He is never miserable nor he is very happy in life, he
never repents nor rejoices. For him there are no attractions for
anything. The world seems a stage where people act according to
their roles but the wise is un affected even where there is death on the
stage. He is a spectator and a witness who knows that his existence is
there to see the happenings in the world but no affect what so ever.
His is very peaceful within and unaffected of outer activities. He
understands that people work for some time and then stop .When the
actors are same after the act then why the spectator be affected. 16

liberated person does not love any one nor hates any one he is not
greedy for anything and he keeps his mind away from attachment. He
does what he does and forgets all after the actions is over. Without
any attachment he consumes the available and non available things
alike. For him no difference in anything, any situation, anywhere with
anyone. He is always what he really is he has no affect like lotus
leaves. He is not touched by worldly happenings. Actually the things
you want to get or enjoy disturb you more when you do not get them.
They are very disturbing but the wise and learned one never cares for
things which are not available. Actually available things are not as
disturbing as the unavailable for which you have a desire to get. There
for it is required to be desire less for every thing. The learned is happy
whether he gets things or does not get things.

``

One established in the Absolute state with an empty mind does not know
the alternatives of inner stillness and lack of inner stillness, and of good
and evil.

A man free of "me" and "mine" and of a sense of responsibility, aware

that "Nothing exists," with all desires extinguished within, does not act
even in acting.

He whose thinking mind is dissolved achieves the indescribable state

and is free from the mental display of delusion, dream, and ignorance.
17.20

Chapter no­18
Chapter no­18

Article no. 66 After awakening life is dream like.

After getting the lightening and knowledge this world seems like a
dream, totally false. The happy, full of light and peaceful
condition within purifies the soul which is as good as
God.
We can see the god in three faces. First: ­ in the face of ‘you’ as God as
the devotee is seeing. He worships the god and prays in front of him also
chanting his name. Second way is of wise one who says AHAM
BRAHMAASMI. God appears in him as “I”. Third way is of awaken one.
No devotee no god. No I no you. No Ahambrama. Hari Om Tat Sat. The
whole the universe is his only. There is duality between I and you. Unless
there is you it is very difficult to escape from I. Kabir has said: ­

``

street of love is very thin two can not come in. Only one can come
in not two. There is no you or ‘I’. Beyond both, is it not wonderful?
Awakening means that is sleeping within let him awake.You have to
move your soul realize that the whole world is false and un real and
nothing will come out of it so long you are after it. The real is one and
only one .You is not different from Him. How can you find him? He is
within you and you are within him. It means both are the same. There
is no duality. You have to realize that it is the part of the supreme
soul who is kind enough to send a part of it to your body to keep it
alive. Without his particle this body is of no use that will be without life
and conscious. Because of him –these human bodies are alive. If he
orders his particle to come back –your body is dead, salute to that
realization of oneness which renounces the darkness of life and
enlightens you. Once enlighten has arisen than there is no darkness
no worry and you are enlightened soul.
67 you can earn enjoy but can not get peace with
out leaving all.
One may get all sorts of pleasure by the acquisition of various objects

of enjoyment, but one cannot be happy except by the

renunciation of everything. 18.2
After collecting wealth a man leads a luxurious life but he cannot get
the real happiness unless he renounces these all. These luxuries are
temporary not permanent. But once you achieve the real happiness
then there is nothing to achieve any more. Without total renunciation
of worldly pleasures real bliss is not possible. Wealth can give you
luxuries and pleasures but not happiness within.

``

Astavara is making the difference between enjoyments and happiness.

Generally people understand enjoyments means happiness. But it is
not like that. If you would see enjoyments carefully you would find that
there was no pleasure in enjoyments. There is tension in enjoyments.
There is no peace and with out peace where is happiness?

Happiness and pleasures are quite different pleasures are

physical and happiness is within.

You just take care of one thing: when ever you are doing some
thing with out desiring you are getting pleasure and happiness and
when you desire to get some thing you are getting pain.

Article no. 68 Who is dying hard for duty never

gets peace.
III: How can there be happiness, for one who has been burnt inside by
the blistering sun of the pain of thinking that there are things that still
need doing, without the rain of the nectar of peace? 18.3
So long you think that all that happens in life is because of you. You
are feeling that you are doing everything in this world. Here ego plays
the role that I am the doer. I am responsible for all that I have. That is a
mistake. You do nothing. There is some one else who coup lids you to
do what ever you do. So many reactions are taking place in your body
under different systems i.e. digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous
etc., under different systems so many organs functions. All these
organs /systems are controlled not by you but by some other power.
You have to realize and forget yourself who is doing nothing. Peace is
not the result of your actions. It comes when you don’t do.

``

IV: This existence is just imagination. It is nothing in reality, but there is

no non­being for natures that know how to distinguish being from
nonbeing. 18.4
This world is only for name sake and unreal. Actually it is not real. Your
good behavior is never lost. There are so many things in this world which
you cannot see because you are at liberty to see every thing by your own
angle. You can not see what is actually there. If a Sardar is taking bath
on the bank of the river you see wonderful: what a beauty. Let me go
near and have a look and when you go nearer you find out that he is a
sardar taking bath what you presumed as beautiful lady.

This is the way of your seeing. You can not see what is actually
there. You see every thing by your own angle. The day you will
be able to see the truth you will be surprised.

When all habits are dead and you have perfect peace within then
you will be able to see what is unreal and what is real. There is a
big net of attachments, relation ships, love and hate etc, in this
world and that is why this world is unreal.

Article .69 by knowing Him alone ­all done undone lost.

The soul is neither near nor far off because it is always within.
The god is in the soul who is not visible. The moments you
realize the soul within you, all done or undone will die. The soul is
away from the sins. It is not affected by any action. V:

``

The man becomes self involved when he is away from attachment. The
person who has realized his soul he get rid of all waves. The person who
is not desirous to see any thing in his own way he becomes peaceful.
Who has set in equanimity he is glorious. VI:
Astavakra says a learned person lives like a child when he considers
the whole world as temporary and imaginary. He moves in this world
as free bird and free soul. So long you treat this world as real you see
yourself as bounded, the moment you know this world as unreal and
soul is free. All illusion disappears. You consider yourself bounded
and so you are, you leave this thought and you are liberated. VII:

Article no. 70 self less people do not know any

thing and do not do any thing.
Your existence is only prime truth and all else is only false and
imaginary. You have been taught that when you forget your
desires you can think of divinity. What you have experienced
yourself is only real in life. Do not believe others blindly. Try to
realize yourself by your own experience. Different type of waves
arises but the liberation is not affected. Liberated one does not
know any thing. He does not do anything and also does not say
anything and this is the real emotion of prime learning. VIII:

The calm and peaceful sage is contributed by knowing everything due to

soul only. I am this; I am that such ideas are killed automatically. The one
who has known his soul that is all he is contented. After reaching this
stage there is no tension and there is perfect peace. I am in you, with
whom to struggle, no struggle, no fight. You and I are same –no

``

fight no discussion, when all are one ­when you consider as two
then discussion and fight comes in. IX:

71 Peace full person never bother for meditation.

Always peaceful sage does not feel the knowledge and ignorance,
happiness and worries. He is above all. He is not at all disturbed
and concerned with crowd or loneliness. One who has left his ego
and all type of actions for him there is no concentration and no
disturbance. He is emotionless and empty. When you are empty
within there is no disturbance and no hurdle. As sound echoes in
a vacant house similarly in your emptiness the sound echoes and
goes away. You remain as you are –unaffected. If you are
emollition and a dog barks outside.­you are disturbed because
you are hearing barking of dog .This disturbance is not within you
that are due to your own ideas and not because of dog barking. X:

Your reaction is responsible for your disturbance. Let others do

whatever they do­you do not react and maintain your balance within
then you can meditate at any place whether it is a market, a cinema

``

hall or any place what so ever. There is no necessity of

concentration. Only reaction of the mind should be silent.
We have heard there are Bodha Vippashyanna centers in Tibbat and
Rangoon. A man went there for meditation. He has heard some
where that meditation in Bodth Vippashyanna centers are wonderful.
That vippashyanna center was in between fish market of the
Rangoon City. There was a lot of noise. Dogs were barking. Ladies
were running. Children were crying. People were making their
purchasing.

He thought what kind of this place is? Is it the place for meditation? He
thought to run away immediately but he thought some thing and
stopped. At least I should have a look of the Guru who has opened
this Ashram here. When he went in he was surprised to see that there
were hundreds of crows flying over the Asharam because it was the
time for feeding for Bodhas and after feeding they were throwing some
thing for them that is why all the crows were flying over there. There
were lot of noise and there only all the Bodha disciples were
meditating. Some one is walking as some Bodha do meditation even
by walking. Some one was sitting peaceful below the tree and
meditating. He has started looking on. He could not understand it
properly. Every thing was against the teachings of meditation. But
there was very peace on the faces of Bodha disciples as all this is not
happening over there or other wise as they are some where else in
some other universe where all these doesn’t matters and are not
reaching there or not effecting. After seeing the faces of these Bodha
disciples he thought to stay for few days there.

He approached to the teacher of the Ashram asked what a place you

have chosen for meditation. What is this? Is it a place to chose for
meditation Centre. Guru said:­ wait for few weeks if you will ask again I
will answer you after three four weeks. He stops for three weeks. First

``

he stop for three days when he realized some thing in three days
then he stop for one week. When he stopped for one week slowly
he realized that it does not matter there is noise in the centre or
cars are running, crows are crying, dogs are barking. These all
matters nothing. You were going in some other universe. You
were getting down some where else within.

By the end of second week he was not in a position to

remember any thing. In the third week he has realized that if
there were no crows, dogs, market and noise then meditation
was not possible. He said to the Guru to pardon him. My
complained was not right that was my haste.

Guru said: ­ after a lot of thinking we have made the Ashram here.
Because experiment of Vippashyana is not to react where there
are actions. Become reaction less. When we are reaction less our
heart will be in peace. There is no need to be attentive any where.
Heart and mind must be reaction less.

Listen this wonderful thought: ­ who is really peaceful he is not

becoming great scholar because to say some thing will be
excess. By awakening you will not become a great scholar.
You will become peaceful.

72Awaken never bother to live in palace or forest

The person who has become a witness for all actions and all activities
in the world is not affected by charity or crown when offered to him.
For him no difference whether he becomes a king or a beggar. He is
not concerned and not responsible for any thing. Whether he lives in
the forest or in a big city, it is in materiel for him. He does not wish for

``

anything whether he gains or loses he is always neutral. He sees as a

spectator. If he is a king, he does not feel if he is a beggar he does not
feel any thing. XI:

An unconcerned and liberate person is not attached with works

done or undone. No lust and no passion, no wealth, no religion
and no knowledge exist for him. He is free of all and is neutral
and peaceful under all emotions. Astavakra says such persons
do not react whether the sky falls or the earth goes to bottom. He
is never happy or unhappy in this world. He sees that every thing
is just happening by his grace and a human being is not efficient
to change the bad to good or good to bad. Things changes,
things come and go, weather changes, sunlight and moon light
comes and goes, day and nights come and go, why a man should
got disturbed physically or mentally. 18/12:

A sage who becomes liberated by his nature and he is called as

Mahavira by the people, he has no duty to perform. He lives in
this world, the hustle and bustle of the crowd all around do not
bother him. He is always the same under all emotion whether so
called bad or good, pleasant and un pleasant. Life is as he got it,
he lives quite normal, peaceful and unconcerned. He takes life as
it comes to him. Physical comforts and luxury, mental satisfaction
etc do not disturb his mind. Actually he keeps his mind locked so
that outward happenings do not enter his mind and so he is free
not disturbed physically and mentally. Keep every thing away
from your body and mind and enjoy liberation under all
circumstances. 18/13:

``

Article no.73 Awaken never bothers for world,

meditation or salvation.
18/14:

Astavakra says when a person gets rid of all emotions

and feelings his mind never react for any action to continue or
discontinue. His mind is at rest and does not run for any thing and
he wants nothing. He does not aspire for god or salvation etc.

His wants and desires are totally undistributed he

has become a stone. He is happy where ever he is, world
does not exists for him where is the question to desire
salvation when desires are not there, medicines does not
required to him when he is not sick.

The person who runs away from world is still seeing this world
real and that is why he is running. But who does not see this
world as real, question of running does not arise. Such a person
with open eyes does not see any thing because he refuses to
see, similarly he refuses to listen by ears, to smell by nose, to feel
by

``

touch, Though alive, he lives as a dead person with out any

reaction. 18/15:
One who knows Brahma, he thinks he is also the Brahma as
Aham Brahma asmi. Again duality comes in. Now also you are
feeling two. You your self as brahma and as brhma means,
Barhma is some one else, again two. Duality only is the problem.

You have to accept non duality. There is only one and no

more, this is the highest knowledge of main learning of
Astavakra and beyond this nothing is left to learn. 18/16:
So long you have doubts in your mind there may be opposition
but when doubts are not there then there is no opposition and
discussion. When your mind is disturbed you go for meditation
to remove the disturbance. In this absence of disturbance
within you have no big deal to find. You are already at peace
with yourself. A liberate needs no guru to teach him as he has
nothing to gain and nothing to lose. 18/17:

He is not disturbed because he is totally in peace within. A

person who is neutral and peace full can never be disturbed
by any activity any more. When he is not interested in any
one then how can there be disturbance. Astavakra again and
again emphasis only one thing to Janak that to be peace full
in life be neutral and witness. Don’t attach your self with any
thing when you are not attached you cannot be held
responsible for any action in life. 18/18:

``

74. desire less doing all and doing nothing.

18/19:
Contented and learned person who is not
concerned with available and unavailable for him things are
always away from the senses reactions. Though working in
the eyes of this world but not doing anything in reality. He is
wise and awakens. He does not want any thing in any way
–neither to the right nor to the wrong. He is neither happy nor
unhappy under any circumstances. He is always the
same­unconcerned –un effected­ no reaction in the mind. He
is always zero and every where zero, He is never proud and
also never defected. Defeat and victory have no effect on him.
He looks like a worldly person but he is away from the world.

``

Article No. 75 Don’t takes the support of god even.

What ever a learned person has to do he does it happily and
not bothering for the result. He does walk if he can and does
not if he cannot, whether done or undone he is the same
balanced and unconcerned –the real state of happiness and
peace. He does not say that he is worldly and neither says
that he is renunciation (tyagi).

Where ever you said it must be like this or that. You

are in problem. When ever and what ever has to do learned
person does it happily. He does nothing from his side. What
ever he has to do he does that is all. 18/20:

One who has left passions and expectations in life

is always independent, liberate and wise. He considers
himself in the hands of destiny.
Always he is like dry leaves of a tree; he lives and also
goes away from this world. The worldly attractions have no effect
though he lives in this world 24 hours. He is above all, un
affected, untouched, and mentally contented. There are two types
of persons in this world. One is bound in this world and the other
is unbound. One considers a rope as a snake and is afraid of. He
runs away and the other brings a stick to kill the snake. Both are
in illusion. The fact is to be seen by light because it is only a rope.

``

Astavakra says “philosophy” is entirely different of third type

that is being enlightened and open eyes to see this fact. You
have to be balanced and peaceful to see the real fact of life.
There is no bondage in this world. It is your mirage and
nothing else. He further says that there is always a third
middle way that is neither to be of the world nor run away from
the world.

The middle way of being a witness is true. Awake and

see this world what is real without any attachment and fear.
Astavakra says that do not depend on two. Once you
start depending on god for anything then you will become
dependent permanent. You will decorate the idol of god and
worship again and again. This is also your imagination, who has
seen the god? Who has known him? First you were entrapped in
this world now you got entrapped by god. Under both emotions
you are not free. Why do you require the help of god? You want
the help of god to full fill your ambitions. You want to use the god
for your selfish purposes. You want to use the god servant like.
You are begging some thing or other in your prey. It is flattery so
that you can put the god in your services.

Learned is one who has awakened and see that there is nothing
to get in this false world. What ever you want to get that is
already with you. You are above all. No one can disturb you
unless you are disturbed. It is your misunderstanding. When
there is no problem, no worry when you don’t want to get any
thing, no fame, no defeat, no respect and no disrespect. You
develop in such a way that nothing affects you whether you get or
do not get. Your internal, mental happiness and peace is only
within and nothing else so aspiring for. 18/21:

``

76 Peace full people are always free from body.18/22:

The wise and learned man is never happy and never unhappy.
He is always peace full and is free from the body and its
demands. Keep the body as it is. It came into this world without
any desire then why you want things when it is grown up. Treat
the body as it came. No one listen. You came into this world
without any noise and disturbances live like that only. Who is
peaceful within always graceful. A person neither can bear the
pain nor pleasure. Some time a person die in pleasure. He die in
pain every time but some time he die in pleasure also because it
is pain or pleasure in both condition man gets blood pressure
raised and raised blood pressure is dangerous for heart. Man is
in pain or pleasure heart gets affected. Peace is ever lost. Who is
never affected in pain and pleasure has gone further from body
because the body is only affected in pain and pleasure. Both
these are the qualifications of body not of soul. Learned has
settled in his soul.

Awaken never dies for getting or renouncing.18/23 A

person w. A ho lives in his consciousness and not body,
consciousness has nothing to renounce because that has not
acquired anything. You can renounce only when you have
acquired something. You (soul) have acquired nothing, what to
renounce, what to leave. You are active because of your soul and
not because of your body .The whole problem come when you

``

consider yourself as a body which is absolutely untrue and false

and unreal. Treat yourself as a soul and not body and be happy.
The learned is never proud because he always feels that he is
living as soul. A man with such a blank mind is never insulted. No
one can please him nor can insult him. He is not depended on
any body, be his father, mother, brother, sister, wife, son or any
one of so called relation for him there is no relation. Relation ship
is limited only up to body’s level and not beyond. When bodies
are destroyed why worry because bodies are already dead. That
is being seen alive because of soul which is never destroyed.
18/24:

Article no.77 Do all and don’t do any thing. The biggest

mistake is that you consider your self body. You are not body you
are with in the body. There is soul within. So long soul is within,
you can hear, see, smell, touch, and feel. There is big doer within
who does every actions and that is his particle of current due to
which the body seems active when his current goes away the
body is still there but of no use and is called dead and use less.

When considered ‘I’ as body and body is doing every

thing then you become sinner. The soul is non doer. I (soul) am
away from the body and I am only a witness to all that happens.
Devotees are in illusion that god does every thing. See what the
God says:­ Devotee says:­Nothing happens in the world with out
your wish.God says: ­ nothing like that. Nothing happens by my
desire. If happens, whether have I desired Sita Haran And Dropdi
Chir Haran? No dear nothing happens by my desiring. Who
knows how I have spent my life with out Sita after leaving her in
the jungle. No dear nothing happens by my desire.

``

Whether I had wished to hang the Ishu and to put the nails in
his body? Whether I had wished to kill millions of Sia­Sunni in
Karbla? Whether I had wished poison for Sukrat and Meera.
Whether I wished to through Parlhad from the peak of
mountain? No nothing happens by my desire in the world. It is
all illusion. Devotee is in illusion. 18/25:

18/26: All the work done by body, greed, anger, lust,

desire, mind and heart. Where are you in between?
Learned one never attach with the act. I don’t do this
learned never says. The liberated person does work like an
ordinary man, who says something and does some thing
whatever an ignorant person says is all false and is deceiving
where as learned one is not telling the truth what ever he does is
right only. You can recognize him by his actions. In case of
learned person it is totally reversible what ever a learned person
says is totally correct and whatever he does is false. You will find
truth in the knowledge of the learned which you will not find in the
action of the ignorant. Learned one knows that he is not the doer
because he knows that he is not the body which you don’t know.
That is the only difference between you and learned one.
Learned one knows that every act is being done by lust, greed,
anger, mind, desire not by me.

Article no. 78. You get peace after tired of all

thoughts.18/27
After getting rid of different ideas the person gets peace. He
neither sees nor listens and also does not imagine.

``

You get peace only when ideas are exhausted and the mind
gets weaker and weaker due to tidiness.

There is a very old story. God has made the man. Man was
alone. He prayed the god that he is alone kindly send some one.
God has made a woman and sent to him. But that woman was
horrible because some time she was singing well and some time
getting angry some time she was cool like moon some time firing
fire from her mouth. When in anger she was like sun and when in
love she was cool like moon. That man was tired off with in three
days. He said it is a problem. I was better alone.

After living with the lady for three days he realized the joy of
loneliness. You can not realize the joy of aloofness with out living
with some one. He runs to God. He says: ­ pardon me. What I
demanded was wrong. I made a mistake. You please take her back I
don’t want her. It is a big problem. She will make me mad. Some
time she is alright but some time she gets mad some time she loves
and some time she gets angry. I am not able to understand how she
changes. Kindly keep her with you. God said as you like.

He left the lady for three days with god and get back to his home.
He started remembering her, her sweet singing, her beautiful
eyes. He again went to the god after three days and asked the
god pardon me. Kindly give her back to me. She is beautiful. She
was cooking and feeding me. Now there is no one to welcome
me when I come back from Jungle. I am sad. When she was at
home she was offering me tea­ coffee. She was always at the
door waiting for me. Now life is very dull. Please give her back to
me. God said as you like. Take her away.

``

Again he got mad after three days. Again he went to the god.
God said: ­ set up. Neither you can live with her nor with out
her. Now, you live with her and since the man is living.

79 People do meditation for salvation. Desire is

still there.18/28:
DEKHA HAI HER CHAH BANI – AAKHIR MAIN DUKH KA KARAN.

PHIR BHI CHAHE MOKSHA ADHAR –CHAHNA AAKHIR NA CHHODA.

Poet says you have realized that there is pain in every desire
even though you desire to meditate for salvation, desire not
left. Desire for salvation is also a desire after all.
When some one goes into meditation to get rid of
some thing is the opposite side of a thing that he can
renounce. Liberate does not go into meditation. The learned is
ever liberated. He thinks this world as un real and will die one
day. He lives like a Brahma in this world. He always considers
this world temporary. If an ordinary person asks about god, it
is only because of curiosity. Just a child ask question but does
not bother whether he gets an answer or not. After some time
he forgets his question. God can not be realized by curiosity.
One has to develop a deep sight to get him. When
discrimination is not there meditation is not required just as
medicine is not required when you are not sick.

An egoist does not care for the common good in this world.
Though soul does not work but still an egoist works while an ego
less person awakes but still he does not work. Astavakra’s whole
philosophy is to convert a doer into non­doer. 18/29:

``

Article no. 80. Awakening is I am in all.

The mind of a confusion free learned person is always
enlightened and that is why he is never excited. Excitement is
always giving duality. The reason of confusion and quarrel in
this world is because of duality i.e., to see the two sides of
every thing. Where there are no two opinions for any thing is
always peace full. That is why his heart is above all
confusions. You are I am and I am you, when you realize this
fact then you are awakened and enlightened within.

Astavakra says that contentment is the shadow of

excitement only when you are not discriminate then there is
no need for contentment also when you have no doubt about
what is right or what is wrong then it is clear that the witness
is right and all else in the world is false. 18/30:
Astavakra says that a learned person does not desire any
concentration or meditation. He does not have any reason or
formality within. He is not grabbed by any kind of desire. He does
what god wants him to do. If god wants him to meditate –he does
so. He is always happy and peaceful in himself. The blank mind
of a learned person does not go after any worldly things. 18/31:

``

81 Wise breaks him self from the world like he

is a fool.
Astavakra says to leave every thing on god,” what is
there to do now? He does what ever god wants him to do. He
sleeps in rest without any problem of the present and future. He
becomes an ignorant simpleton and so people ignore him and he
is not disturbed by any one. When lord Mahaveer wanted to go
for Sanyas he went for permission from his mother. His mother
refused. After mother death his brothers refused he lived in aloof,
un earned as it in Sanyas . Now the family members realized that
his living in the family is of no use better he takes Sanyas. He is
already in exile. He is no more with us mentally. Let him take
Sanyans he likes. We must not come on the way now he is
already gone. So they permitted. 18/32:

Worldly men practice a lot for the incantation of the mind and
its constant opposition. But a peaceful person lives peacefully
as his nature like a sleeping person and sees that there is
nothing to do here. 18/33:

Article no. 82 By efforts a fool can not get the peace.

``

18/34:In spite of the best efforts the foolish person never gets
peace and happiness. A person with determination gets into
soul. A universe person does not get happiness even after
putting efforts or otherwise. While a learned man knowing the
facts of life gets happiness. An ignorant man tries his best for
happiness but never gets it and on the contrary he gets into
trouble. He tries for happiness but get troubles. Be aware that
happiness does not come by running after it. Without running
for happiness it comes automatically on your awakening not
physically but mentally. Mental awakening is a must for
happiness. What’s real truth –if it comes into mind then you
have reached where you wanted to reach.

18/35:UN experienced persons do not understand the soul

within. They do not recognize the soul conscious ness which
is pure and far away from troubles. Astavakra says quite a
strange thing that those who do not try to get any thing. The
more you try more confused you are and reach no where.
They do not realize soul consciousness.
Article no.83 what can not happen here, can not
happen in Himalya.

``

18/36:He does not get salvation by trials and practices. Try as

much as you can, do meditation, chant mantras, do fasts, do
renunciation, leave the world and go to Himalayas you will not get
the salvation. Remember what is un achievable here in this world
is also unachievable in the Himalayas. What is possible here why
go to Himalayas? The days you realize the soul within then you
understand that your wife has also the same soul. Your son is
also has the same soul he is no more your son & wife is no more
your wife. That day your wife and son will also be part of god, this
stage is salvation for every one. Only thing is to realize and
understand. Like wise understand and realize the rest of people.
All are the same understand it and experience it.

84 desire to be some thing not allowing you to be

something.
18/37:An ignorant wants to become Brahma but he never
becomes so. But a wise person not desiring anything is himself
equivalent to Brahma. The moment you have desire for anything
– you never get it. You have to leave the desire first for every
thing then you get it automatically. Now don’t try to ask that I will
get it know other wise you will again fall in the same old web.

18/38:Few people with bad habits of old ideas are trying to

spoil this world. They are really explores of this world. They
do not know the reality and are sleep base in their old habits.
They do not want to listen the real ideas and hence they do
not follow them. They think that they are only right and all
others are wrong. They are always involved in the old
traditions and refuse to change themselves.

``

121
If someone asks you “is there god” and you say
–“Yes”. You have not seen god but still you fight for your ideas
with others who believes that god is not there. Both persons
oppose each other with out having any proof in there favor. Why
people behave like this? Why not they accept each others ideas
and maintain their peace. People repeat on the basis of they
heard. You preach what you have listened. Other one preaches
what he has listened. The only fact is your own experience. One
should talk on the basis of his experience. It is always better to
say –‘I do not know’ when you are not sure of anything.

18/39:Foolish persons do not get peace when they are after

peace. If you have firm belief in ONE then you are always
peaceful. Desire is the only cause of unrest and that is why
when you desire peace­you do not get it. Be desire less
always and every where and for every thing –then nothing
can disturb you and you see peace always. If you ask for
anything you never get it.­understand this my friend. Even
from god you are not supposed to ask anything.
Article no.85 who knows the knower, he knows all.
18/40:One who asks and accepts seems truth is not self realized.
You have to introspect deeply within to reach your goal. A man
with peace sees only the soul which is real and can never be
destroyed. It’s permanent. This world can be divided in two types
of persons one says –I am seeing everything in the world and the
other says­I am seeing soul only. I am a witness my friend. If you
have known ‘being’ may be yourself, the unit of the world is
human being. All are basically the same within. One who knows

``

this fact has got what he wanted to get, nothing is to get now.
Know yourself and forget this world which is unreal and be at
peace within and without.

Article 86. Who control the heart by stub born

can not do so.
18/41: One who tries to control the mind by power, can never
do so. The man once tries to force the mind in one direction­ it
goes to another direction. Such persons are fools who use
force for such a simple thing. Force is not required. The wise
and learned person understands this fact and he controls the
mind without any force. He is peaceful and never tries to
press. It is automatically controlled. You be peaceful and do
not think of all. Be unconcerned. Do not fight with the mind
and mind will also not fight with you. When two persons fight
–there is no end to fight. One has to surrender and see how
long the others fight. He will also be silent after some time
when he sees that the other one is not responding.

You just see the jumps of mind without getting

disturbed­and you will observe that the mind is silent and
exhausted after fighting for nothing.

87.Problem is your acceptance and admission.

18/42:It is not possible to have a coin with only one side. A coin
will always have two sides. It is natural. Similarly in this world
same will be thirst and same will be attesting. All can never be in
favor of god and also not against god and when two opinions are
there –there will always be fight. Each one claims they are right

``

and the other is wrong. Mistake is ours that we do not want two
types of person. Let there be believers in god and also against
this. What difference it makes for you .You see them both without
reaction and remain negative for both. Say both are right –What
do you lose? Feel it. I am enjoying within and not concerned for
others. You act as you want to act and let others act as they
want. Why go after them? Why bother –who is right and who is
wrong. You be right at least and live your life in perfect peace and
rest. You do not allow their noise to enter within you.

18/43:Man with pure wisdom experience the pure and non dual
soul but being attached in this world they fail to recognize it. That
is why they live all life without happiness. Because of their ego
that I am above all they do not recognize the soul. If this I­ness is
destroyed then only he can understand what the soul
is?Salvation means base less.18/44
A worldly man attached with this world can never
live with out the base of this world. He thinks the world as
everything and nothing more. A wise liberate person has no
base in the world. He considers the world as base –less,
useless and with out any attraction and that is why he is
always liberate when all bases in the world destroyed then
there is no sense to live under. He is in the open eyes with
god when you are naked and without any support from any
side –then you are only inner soul, the lord alone.

Article no.88 Lion of desire is with in, not out side.

18/45:A worldly man becomes greedy after seeing the pleasures
of the objective world. To concentrate his mind he goes to a cave.
He enters the cave to get the ultimate happiness which he fails to

``

get in to this world. This is only escapism­you want to escape

from this world. With out changing your inner self, change of
situation does not help unless you change yourself or
transform yourself. Develop and realize the inner instinct and
leave the outer things be in the world.
This is the real philosophy of Astavakra. He
preaches this again and again to Janak ji. The passions and
sensual desires are not out side, they are always in the mind
within. They can never leave you or you can never leave them
as they are not outer things. You have to train yourself
mentally and get rid of these sensual desires.

18/46:Just a passionate elephant runs away quietly on seeing a

lion, similarly passions disappears on seeing a lust less person,
lust is only an illusion and a passionate person runs after it
without knowing the result. It is just a race. You go on running
after it, it never stops, once you are determined to face it, the
sense feelings disappears knowing that there is no right place.
So, my friend you just awake mentally then the mind will
surrender automatically. You will win and the mind will be
defeated.
Article no. 89.Who is not doubt full of his being soul.
We doubt that we are soul. We consider our
self the body only.
18/47: Here Astavakra emphases that a determined wise person
with no doubts will never go after the movements of the mind. He
knows what is right and what is to be done and he only does that.

``

No one can influence him. He understands that mind always

follow the path which is simple and gives temporary
pleasures. He eats, listens, smells and sees everything all
around and lives happily without any reaction inside.
We always doubt soul explainer and quickly go
after body existence which is untrue. Body is always dead
and it is unlinked by soul to do any action through our sense
organs do. Actually body is nothing it is only a box containing
costly jewels which we do not try to understand. Body is seen
by everyone easily but the contents are hidden and can be
seen only by awakening. Body is unreal but the soul within is
real. Realize the soul for real guidance in life.

Have your own experience to realize soul and do

not follow others who do not understand the importance of
soul. Body is mental it dies and they are buried and burnt. It is
of no use. It smells after the soul left. So long soul is within;
the body is attractive and charming. When soul is out it is
much worse than the dust. Soul is one where the mind is multi
faced. Mind moves in all directions which soul does not.

A man may be depressed of sense organs but still he

feels the activeness within. A blind person can see, a dumb can
speak, a deaf can hear, a nose less can smell. If He is awakened
inside, he knows what to accept and what to reject. He is much
better than other person having organs. One seems handicapped
but he is not. He is much more intelligent by intentions. He grows
internally when we know that god is Omni present, Omni potent
and omniscient then why do you think yourself away from him. He
is within you, within me and within every one. Don’t forget this
fact. He was, he is and he will be always and every where. He is

``

above time and space .The whole problem is that we do not

understand the real and the unreal. We consider unreal as real
and real as unreal and this is the main cause of all miseries in
life.
Astavakra says see, listen, eat, drink, live in this
world but ensure that you are awake. Do not try to enjoy
these actions, do not try to run away, do not try to renounce
these activities but be awake to know what is real and what is
unreal. Be in the world but ensure that you are not touched by
worldly actions. Be a lotus leaf in dirty water of a pond, water
cannot touch the lotus leaf. Lotus leaf is always untouched
–you should know this and continue to go all around. Act, do
all and don’t do anything, realize what is real and what is
unreal. Accept the real and destroy the unreal.

Article no. 103.Truth is awakening.

FROM PAGE 188­191/47 verse onward.
You just sit ideal one hour ­ only one hour for few months. Do
not think any thing. Do not give any co­operation to your heart
and mind. Keep the mind empty from thoughts. Just sit for
one hour closing your eyes and empty mind doing nothing.
You would find after few months that your mind and hearts
are little bit peaceful. After a year you will find that demands
of heart and mind vanished.

Now heart and mind never demand. Until and unless you
have not recognized the oneness of divinity with in you will be
in illusion of so many. Soul is one; mind and hearts are so
many. Knowing the soul man becomes peaceful.

``

You must have heard that god is every where at all places and
even in non living things. There is no such thing in the universe
where god is not there. God is there in schedule caste also but
people are not under standing it. Schedule caste is not different
from divinity. God is equally divided in all. Lord Shree Krishna has
described in Madbhagvadgeeta that I am equally present in Men­
women­Chandal –Elephant and Brahman. Even though people
are not catching hold of the actual and fighting considering them
selves upper caste and the other one lower caste because of
their own selfishness. It is all politics.

There is a very good example in the life of Gautam Budha.

One Bodh Bhikchu was going on pilgrim. He has asked Budha to
give some sermon/directions for the travelling because I will be
far away from you for so many days. I will not be able to ask any
thing. Budha said: ­ if you meet some lady on the way don’t see
at her. Keep your eyes below and keep travelling. He said Okay
but other disciple Anand was sitting there. There is very kindness
of Anand on mankind that he has asked so many wonderful,
timely­ untimely and unwanted questions to Budha.

He said: ­ wait a minute please. Some time we may have to see

at. Budha said if you have to see you can see there is no problem
but don’t touch. Anand said: ­ it may happen some time that we
have to touch. If a lady is lying on the road wounded and there is
no other one except us in that position to help her or not to help
her? You says kindness­ kindness. What happened to kindness?
Budha said in that situation you can help her but keep awaken.

Budha said main thing is awakening. This disciple is little bit weak
that is why I said not to see. If he would have been little bit more

``

power full I wouldn’t have told him not to see. If he would

have been more power full I wouldn’t have told him not to
touch and if at all he was suppose to be wise I would not have
told him any thing except awakening.
Once upon a time it has happened that one disciple of Budha
was passing by and one prostitute has requested him to stay with
her this rainy season. That disciple said let me ask my Guru. He
has not said that you are a prostitute. He has not said that I stop
and live with you how it could be possible? He said nothing. He
said let me ask my Guru if he permit I will stay.

He went and asked Budha in public meeting that one

prostitute is saying me to stay with her can I? Budha Said: ­
stay. It has created a nuisance there in other disciples. Lot of
disciples was angry. Lot of were eager to see such happening.
They said it is wrong. You always said:­ Don’t see, don’t touch
and you are giving him the permission to live with a prostitute.

Budha said this disciple is such that if he will stay with a

prostitute than prostitute would be afraid off not he. There is
no reason for him to afraid of that prostitute. Now you go and
stay with her. We will talk about this after four months.
That disciple has stayed with that prostitute. Other disciple
has started to bring news every day that all is going wrong.
That prostitute is dancing and he is seeing the dance whole
night. Both are sleeping in the same room. Budha was
listening every day and just keep smiling. Budha said let the
four months complete. He will come after four months.

That disciple came back after four months and along with him
that prostitute also came. Before the disciple say some thing that

``

prostitute fell down to Budha feet and said:­ please take me in

your guidance. Please accept me as your disciple. By sending
this Disciple to me you have sent me the way of salvation. I have
tried my level best to bring him down but he is wonderful. I said
him to see my dance he has not refused. I was thinking that he
would say that I am sage and to see dance not possible but he
said nothing. What ever I said to do he said okay. He has some
lightning within that when ever I was with him I forgotten that I am
a prostitute. In his presence I was flying high in the sky. I couldn’t
bring him down. He has taken me up. Please accept me as your
disciple. As awakening is within him, until and unless I will be
awaken like him life is waste.

Budha said to his disciples tell me what do you want to say?

You were bringing the news every day. I was keep saying: ­
wait. Keep patience. I had faith in him. He is awakening. He
can stay awaken. Truth is awakening.

Astavakra says:­ see hear eat drink live in the world happily.
Don’t renounce, don’t enjoy within, Just awaken. That
awakening is the last thing.

 91 Desire will chase you if you run away.
If awaken there will be no desire. If you go away from the
world there will be no difference. New waves will arise in the
heart. You will be seeing them sitting in himalya what more
you will do. What ever you have left that only will chase you.

You must have heard the stories of Rishi­ Munis that the dancers
of the heaven are teasing them. Where from the dancers would

``

come. What they have left and run away there are the illusions of
the same. No one is teasing. What is the need the heaven
dancers have to tease these Viswamitras. Dancers have no time.
They are not free from their heaven deities. Why they would
come to tease these bone less Rishis. Where there are
attractions in their bodies to attract the dancers of the heaven.
Where from the dancers would have fallen in love with these
bone less and weak Rishis­ Munis. They might be afraid off by
seeing their faces. But the heaven dancers Menka­ Rambha
come to tease them, to dance in front of them. There is some
thing wrong with these Rishis. They have fled from women; they
have never enjoyed them hence these women were being left
within their heart and mind. These are the illusions and
imaginations of their heart and mind.

Who has became Rishi­Munni and got nothing they are

thinking it was better to be a family man but now there is no
alternative, all lost. Those thoughts are teasing from whom
you have fled away. You can not get rid off them what you are
leaving and running away. You are always attached with them
that is why they tease you within.

Astavakra is not in that favor. He says: ­ just hearing the truth

pure wise and healthy man see nothing. He lives just awaken.

Live life with out desire.

18.48. After hearing about the soul, the pure intellectual person
remains serious but a man with healthy mind does not think
about. A person with pure intelligent is never disturbed and does
not allow the waves to rise within. He once hears about the truth
and is satisfied. Nothing is left to do now. What ever happening is

``

happening .That is all. If awaken there is no desire, no

imaginations.
131

Astavakra says seriousness is not good in life, after

hearing and realizing the truth. Seriousness is an insult to
good. Life requires celebrations and happiness all the time
and no seriousness. Live every moment of life happily and
without any coercion, any compulsion.

18/49: The learned person does everything without any force

or compulsion what ever he has to do; he does it then and
there. The behavior of such a person is like a child.
A peaceful person does good or bad with an easy
mind. He does not select what to do and what not to do. He
only acts for acts sake. He acts without ego like a child. He
does not know and think what is right and what is wrong? If
some thing bad has been done, he forgets soon and again
start playing normally such a person is called sage.

Article No. 92. Happiness is in liberation.

18/50: He is happy like a free bird while acting and also while
getting knowledge he is independent of any anti force. A peace
loving person is quite independent which getting happiness. He
reaches the Brahma easily. He achieves the highest position
independently. There is no happiness in dependence whether it is
for some one supreme. Self imposed can never be under slavery
of any kind. You may be slave of some one or your habits.
Slavery is always bad. Be independent of all traditions,
boundaries, rules

``

and regulations, meditation or concentration and yoga etc. Feel

that nothing can affect you –you are free­you don’t want any

132

other face to be free. You are free by yourself. No one can

control you, you are master of your self. SOUL IS NOT DOER.
18/51: When a person has known his soul as the non doer then
only he can kill the wavering of his mind. I am not the doer and
also I am not the enjoyer of any actions. When he realizes this,
his activities of the mind are destroyed. A doer can never be a
witness and when you are not a witness­you cannot feel free. The
main thing for happiness is only when you are not a doer and
also not an enjoyer. Doer and enjoyer are the same, they are not
separate. A doer is enjoyer and a enjoyer is a doer .The moment
your mind is lost or killed only the god enters in you.

. Being witness there is no desire.

18/52: The pleasures and peace are artificial for a person full
of desires. Astavakra says that a person fully awakened in
knowledge and quite peaceful in nature is also accepted by all
even when he is angry as some one who does not
understand him. He is not angry but his anger is aroused by
others who discuss un necessarily and do not accept the right
thing. Good souls want to get rid of bad people by hock or
crook. In spite of such unwanted behavior at times­they
continue to remain good soul. You have to get rid of a dog by
showing the stick does not mean that the man with stick is
bad. He is good as he was before the dog harassed him.

``

18/53:Astavakra says that the patient persons with liberated

ideas are happy in all emotions. If they stay in causes or things in
the world, they enjoy under all emotions. They are not bound by
any
133

particular situation they never remember the past actions and

activities. They act as the time and place demand. Whether
they live in palaces or in mountains, they are always happy.
They do not allow the desires to grow because they know that
desire is the main sin in life.

Article No.93. Awaken does not go for

worshiping the holy places.
18/54: The learned man neither wants to worship religious
places nor does he want to have the company of his wife. He
is always behaved and controlled under every emotion. When
you worship or visit holy places or temples – you always
accept some favors from the god. Your demands are there.
Your so called faith in religion is also force because you act
with a desire within. It is sin. You are always a beggar before
god and always demanding some thing.

A really contented person does not demand or desire

for any thing from god. He always wants to give something to the
world. He wants to present something to god but never expects
anything in return. He is unaffected even on seeing a beautiful
lady. He sees the rays of god in the beauty also.

18/55: Even if he is insulted by his wife, son, relations and

daughters, he is never miserable. He is always happy even if all
praise him, he is not affected. He is always the same within under

``

good or bad situations. Once you have realized your soul within
as real and all else un­real then nothing good or bad can affect
you. He has understood that he is not he; he is something else
beyond
134

outer effects. Who can insult or harm? Such a person

considers himself as soul without attachments. No
attachments, no problem, no pain.

Article No.94 Awaken does not see any duty.

He lives like faceless.
18/56: You cannot understand such learned wise person until
you yourself achieve the same position. He is beyond
common man. He is always beloved in life. He never worries
about his position. He is worried for others. He is egoless.
When ego is killed then all worries are over.
18/57: The wise learned person does not die for his duties. He is
always like a zero. He does not believe in any duty in this world.
He knows this world was created by him. He has to look after. He
gets things done or un done luckily why should we go for actions
and the results. So long you came for duty –you are an actor, the
moment you do not have any duty­you are not the doer of any
action, no duty –no action, no worry all peace and rest. He has to
take care of this world that created this world. You criticize a good
soul till you are not good soul. When you become as good soul
then you never criticize any one.

18/58: AWAKEN DOES ALL HIS WORKS WITH OUT ATTACHMENTS.

``

An ignorant person is always disturbed while doing his duties

and on the contrary a wise learned person is never disturbed
though discharging has duties because he is not concerned
with the action and the results.
135

An ignorant person though involved in action but he is still

disturbed but the learned doing all actions are always at
peace. Actions do not create hurdles to him because he is
self less. then why worry. A learned man is at peace within.
His thoughts do not disturb him. He is always at peace and
balanced. He is called a wise learned person and a complete
man. He is egoless and he has merged himself with god.

18/59: Self realized person move in the world unaffected by

anything. He is always happy and peace full. His total
activities from morning till night do not disturb his peace of
mind. He leads a co flexible peaceful life.

Article No. 95Awaken never gets pain within.

18/60: The learned person by his behavior is never troubled by
anything. He always seems like a sea without any waves. He
understands everything very well and so he is peaceful. He does
not change like a connection. He is always as he is –simple,
peaceful, compassionate, peace loving, helping nature. Always
doing good with out any expectation. He lives life simply and
peace fully accepting all good or bad as natural. When you can’t
change any thing then accept happily and do not disturb your
self.

18/61: The nature of an ignorant person is not natural. It is always

affected by cause and effect. But the cause and effect do not

``

affect a wise learned person. He is natural always and considers

all actions and results are natural. He does not take anything to
his heart and mind and hence his thoughts are controlled always.

136

18/62&63: The un attachment of an ignorant person is not real.

He promises to leave every worldly attachments but the hunger to
get the worldly things are always inside in his mind and thoughts.
There is no renunciation, it is all false and of no positive results.
The man who has lost all hopes, he does not like the pleasures
and joys of life. He acts as if he is a renunciation. An ordinary
person always wants to show that he has renounced everything
and he has become un attached person but it is not so, it is only
exhibition of his false greatness.

The person, who claims to be away from wife, wealth

and fame etc., is always under the grip of these things. He is
actually more involved then those who are physically involved but
mentally satisfied. He is only guest who has renounced his body
and feels always as bodiless. When body is not there then the
question of love, romance, attachment, enjoyment etc does not
arise. For him there is no attachment and no un attachment.

The ignorant always thinks of presence but the learned

person is above and away from all such things and ideas.

An ordinary person is limited in his ideas and always

thinks of getting something. Actually he is useless and does
nothing. But the learned person is clear in his mind, what is to do
and what not to do? He sees that he is above all such things.

``

He is always a witness for all things and nothing else.

137

Article No. 96Awaken does not start the work

with any reason. He is always selfless.
18/64: Like children the learned person just acts and does not
think beyond, before the action and after the action. He is normal
and simple while playing. For such actions the learned and wise
person never attached and that is why he never thinks after
wards, he is totally unattached whether an action is done or
undone. He never does any act for himself. He acts for acts sake
– that is all. He does not expect any reaction. He is nothing to get
and nothing to loose. He does not allow the actions to enter his
mind and thoughts and hence unattached. Just as in the gita, lord
Krishna says “As do your duty and do not expect the fruits. Here
Astavakra says to dedicate the beginning of the result itself to
god. Result of any action comes after the action is over and
Astavakra says that before starting the work do not think of any
result. You act and go away.

18/65: Astavakra says that the enlightened soul is only great who is
desire less and lives always without any hankerings. Seeing, hearing
and eating but he is always the same. He is fully settled in himself,
his mind is fixed and no desire for any thing. He uses his sense
organs but he is not affected. He is the same before using them and
also after using them. Sense organs do not disturb him whether he
uses or not. He uses sense organs like other organs of

``

the body. They do not give him any pleasure. For him they are
dead, through some one action spot broaches on face but he is
not moved or angry. He quietly rubbed it off. No reaction no
action, unperturbed, un incurved as he was. That is greatness
and

138

realization. That is godliness. Only a soul of highest ideas and

perfect peace can do so. Once Gautham Buddha told his
disciple Anand who has enraged, to keep quite when a man
spit on Budha’s face.
Budha said that man wanted to say some thing but he had
no words. That is all this is the way of his expression because he
has no words to explain himself. That person ran to his house
and wept in repentance because he realized the greatness of
Buddha. He came next day and apologized for his act, Buddha
said what for I should pardon you. You have done nothing –I am
not effected within. How can I excuse you? I did not accept what
you did and hence no effect on me. Buddha and Mahavir
achieved all after leaving the palaces. They become great after
leaving the comforts of king. But janakji is still greater. He is the
king and is always away from the palace in his mind. He is a
witness which living among all comforts. He never allowed the
palace and comforts to control him. He controlled all and forgets
all though living among them. Janak has realized that he is in
palace but palace is not in him he is in the world but the world is
not in him and this is the main sign of a learned wise soul.
Though involved in worldly activities but still away from such
actions, this reactions of not getting involved in worldly activities,
is called witnessing.

Article No. 97 Awaken is like sky within.

``

18/66: The combination of mind and consciousness is the

world when witnessing combines with mind then the world
does not effects you, when you have no connection with mind
then the world is dead for you. Kill your mind first. All sense
organs functions but ensure that the reaction does not reach
mind when you have killed this mind then only witness
remains and this is real realization of a liberate.,

18/67: The learned wise person is above all. He never cares for
result of any action. He is always soul conscious and not body
conscious but the ego goes away. You like it or not, want it or not
but breath coming and going are constant whether you require it
or not who control the breath, life giving force, in every living
being. We have to realize this and try to reach him.

Its own ego who tries to control own breath etc. But
the ego makes way for him to reach you. All preaching’s all
Vedic norms to achieve him are of no use unless you clear
the road leading to him. 66­67/18
Article No. 98 Awaken is desire less in
enjoyments as well as in salvation.
18/68,69.Astavakra after saying a lot till now, now says what is
the use of saying so many things time and again? Whatever you
say is always incomplete. There is always much more to say.
Better we realize enjoyment sense organs perform. There
assigned functions biologically then why care for them. Let them
play and die in due course. Don’t try to give life to dead and also
don’t try to kill when it is alive. They are time bound. They came
automatically and go automatically. It is your unnecessary worry
which raises you. Forget this body it will decay one day you go

``

head in this world but not for the world. Worldly things should
not please you. I am not for this world. I am not slave to
worldly things. I should ignore them, forget them. If you try to
forget –you remember more and more. Simply think I am not
of this world. I am above all and reach him after killing the
middle humble .i.e., world .Behavior jeev and Brahma, there
is Maya­so get rids of Maya to clear the path.

Article No.99 You need not to devotee, be god

directly.
18/,70,71,72,When a man does not see any scene, his mind
does not get any idea of the scene. When his mind is blank
he has nothing to suppress. When you are awakening you do
not require any outer effort. You are already awakened and
nothing disturb you .You have seen the ultimate within. No
more efforts are required now.

Astavakra says there is no necessity of seeing a

devotee, you are already complete; do not go for rituals and
prayers now. The force, for which you worship, pray and
meditate, is already within you. You just realizes his presence
within and be peaceful and unattached with all other.
All around the nature is playing several games but the
learned wise man is not concerned with such games. The games
go but the learned only sees the nature and he is not concerned
with. He is not attached; he is not attracted under such emotions.
He is not bound and then why salvation is required when he is
free. Once you are bound by natural games then you want to get
rid of. The learned person takes the temporary world as a net
spread to entangle you so that you can not reach him.

``

The person who goes for meditation is thinking to

be thought less. You are in the seen and have all sorts of
thoughts. The mind depressed of worldly thoughts takes you
to meditation. Awaken one’s inner consciousness is at peace
without thoughts. There is no ego, no desire when you have
learnt the art of sitting thought less.

ArticleNo.100 Meditation means you just be

thoughtless. 73­74/18
Realize the soul which is never destroyed and is permanent.
Once you realize this that there is no body, no knowledge, no
passion, no desire and no ego, that you are only soul within and
without. The person who has realized the value of the soul within
which never dies gets rid of all worries. All problems in life arise
due to thoughts, if some one abuses you, you immediately react.
The learned is stale under all emotions whether happy or
unhappy respected or disrespected. He sees, never reacts. He
contented IN every position. He reaches the stage that is
attached with the inner soul consciousness. Transform yourself
so that even death is no fear and you see him in death also.
Goutham Buddha once heard the song, the essence of the song
was –“Do not loose the strings of Sitar because the music will not
be correct. Also do not tighten so much that they break, under
both conditions you can not play sitar nicely “Buddha realized the
meaning within and left every thing in life and becomes Buddha.

First the ordinary person is busy in worldly affairs. He tries hard to

leave them. After leaving them he is busy in prayers to get
salvation. Again he desires to get salvation. It means he is always
desirous for enjoyments or salvation. Desire is there always, with

``

desire you cannot get anything. You have to be desire less.

Astavakra is not against prayers and worship but he preaches
to do all but not having any desire. You do all and forget for
the result.

Article No. 101 Fool renounces the act AND CONTROL

THE HEART BY STUBBORNNESS.75­76

A foolish person does not leave his foolishness. He acts as if he

has left thoughts from outside but with in he is the same desirous
person. His ideas and thoughts do not leave him though his
actions have been controlled by him. No use. Thought waves are
more dangerous than physical actions. If you control your
thoughts your action will be stopped automatically. It is very easy
to control actions but it is very difficult to control thoughts.

Article No. 102 Whose actions are destroyed by

wisdom IS WISE.77/18
Only by wisdom and understanding –you can control your actions
and not by efforts. One thing is certain that neither the devotee
does any act or the learned wise doe’s act it is only god who gets
thing done whether by devotee or a learned person. The
thoughtless and fearless learned person always remains
balanced and peaceful. He is always the same. Neither light nor
darkness nor renunciation affects him. One who has realized his
inner self which is always shining; he is really great.77/18

Article. 103 God is not only the light, he is dark too.

``

18/78­79, Neither there is light nor dark or terror for a yogi

who is always the same under all emotions. He does not
allow unwanted events to effect his mind. Similarly an
emotionless Yogee has no discrimination.
We have always heard that God is like supreme light,
wonderful light. Divya Jyoti Hai. Astavakra says god is neither
the light nor dark. Just you try to understand that if the dark
and light mix together, what will happen? What ever will, will
be wonderful. What ever will be there will be indescribable.
Which can not be describing otherwise people could have
described already. Because what ever we will say will create
duality.

Lord Shree Krishna also said the same thing in Shree

Madbhagvad Geeta That I am the light and I am the dark too.
Darkness is also I and more over Sins are also I. Devotees
have not taken care of that because that does not suit them.

There is a very old story. Two young men have approached to a

Guru and requested Guru to educate them. They requested Guru
to teach them spirituality. Guru said;­ I will take your exam first.
Take these. Guru has given two penguin each one and said go
some where, where there is no one and kill them. Kill them where
there is no one to see. Then come to get the spirituality. One
young man run away in the side by street, there was no one. He
turned the neck of the penguin and killed him, came back to Guru
and said;­ take it. Work is completed now give me the teachings.
Guru said;­ wait. Let the second young man one come back.

So many days past that second young man not came back. First
one was very up set. He could not get the place where there is no
one to see. Side Street is enough. I also brought it killing in the

``

same street. Guru said;­ keep silence and wait. Until and
unless that second one will not return I will not give you any
reply. Let him come.

Many days past, second one not returned. First one was very
much worried. He said you please give me your teachings.
Now there is no hope to return of him. He has not come back.
Don’t know he will be back or not. Guru again said him to
wait.
Second young man came back after so many days. He came with
the live penguin. He was not in very good position. He handed
over the penguin back to Guru and said it is not possible. You
have put me in problem. I have searched every where, there was
no such place where there is no one to see. I went under ground.
No one was there. There were no rays of light even. There was
no question of seeing by any one. But this penguin was looking at
me. His eyes were looking at me. I said he is looking. I have
closed him in a box so that his eyes could not see me. Then
again I went under ground. Even though, I was defeated.
Because I was present there and I was also looking at. You have
said no one should be there. What is this condition? Now I take
him any where I will be present there. I am defeated. Now I came
back. Now if you desire you give me your teachings if you do not
desire don’t give. But I have got a lot in this exam only. I have
understood one thing that presence of oneness is such which
never lost. That is mine. I have tested the soul. You have made
me to feel the soul.

Guru said;­ you will get the spirituality knowledge and said to
first one to run away. Don’t come back again.

``

You sit in any where in the dark, but you are there. One thing
you will feel even in the darkness that is your being. That is
beyond darkness. To know him there is no need of light. That
is our self light. Who has realized it he is blessed.

Article104 Awaken is not concerned to hell,

haven or salvation.
There is no heaven or hell or liberation for a learned man.
Yogi view point is his experience. Ordinary people talk about
heaven or hell or salvation. Astavakra says that hell and heaven
are the emotions of mind. When we go further from hell and
heaven we start thinking of salvation but we are thinking. In the
supreme state of consciousness there is no hell or heaven. Even
there is no salvation. Further from this no one has said any thing.
Lord Shree Krishna leaves you after taking you up to salvation.
Astavkra takes you beyond salvation. Astavakra says:­ hell and
heaven are the state of mind and heart it is okay but when we are
free from the emotions of mind and heart that experience is called
salvation. But that experience is also for time being no. Astavakra
says awaken sees nothing neither hell or heaven nor salvation.
He sees neither pain nor pleasure. Where there is left nothing, all
left. There is no boundary. You became boundary less. When you
lost your self then indescribable born. 80/18

ARTICLE NO 105 ONE WHO EVER IS IN EQUANIMITY IS HAPPY.

The mind of a learned person is always cool. He does not die to

become yogi. The mind of a patient person is always cool and full
of nectar. That is why he does not pray for any thing. When he

``

gets nectar he experience god –the real power. He is away

from the cycle of life and death.80/18

The learned person does not pray for good persons and he
also does not criticize the bad person. He is always the same
in happy or unhappy emotions. Such a yogi is always happy
when a man is so balanced that he is not moved in good or
bad, right or wrong, life and death, he is called omniscient. He
feels that he has nothing to do now.81­82/18

Article No. 106 Awaken is some where, where

there is no death.
18/83: Astavakra says that the day you understand that this world
is useless, all that you see here is only a dream, then you will
realize soul. When you got the soul your search is over. The
learned person is considered as dead in the worldly sense but he
is very much alive as he has reached the final destination, where
there is no death. Hence learned only is alive.

18/84: Astavakra says the learned person is not attached to his wife or
son. He is never after any desire. He is away free from his bodily
worries and he is always happy without any expectation or hopes. He
is above life and death. He is not involved in his sensual activities. He
is away from I, my and you relations. His love is above all worldly
material things and he is always lost in godly feelings. For him love is
god. He knows and understands that every thing is unreal except soul.
Death of the body is must –so why worry for this what is must is
always must. No one can avoid why worry for certainties in life.

ARTICLE NO. 107 AWAKEN IS ALWAYS PEACEFULL AND LIBERATED.

``

A man of real knowledge knows that the world is without any

purpose or desire, happiness or unhappiness. Where ever night
falls, he sleeps and when the day begins, he moves on. He is
happy no worry at all within. He is real and is same every where.
He is really contented everywhere.85/20
18/86: The saints are never worried whether this body lives or lives not
for him the whole earth is worth living. Nothing is good or bad. He who
find a rest in himself does not try to find peace else where. He carries
no unnecessary tensions with him. He is just at peace with himself in
whatever conditions he lives. Neither he is concerned with physical nor
mental problems. For him nothing exists to efforts him. One who is
soul minors always forgets the world. Similarly any one who is
involved in worldly things forgets the soul. The soul is real and all else
is unreal and will face an end ultimately. This body is a thing of the
world and so it is unreal. He understands I am not the body, I am the
soul.

18/87: Astavakra further emphasis that the learned aside the

worldly attachments moves on freely on the earth. No pleasures
and no worries for him, he moves on independently freely with no
attachments for anything. He feels –I am nothing here. No rule and
regulations of any kind for him in this world. He is neither defeated
nor victorious. In his mind whatever happens let it happen –he is
not concerned. It happens, happens I am not concerned. 18/88:

In the end when all ways are open and all darkness is washed
away from inside, what is left to trouble. Nothing; such love less
saints treats the stone and gold alike. No hatred for stone and to
love for gold, such a man only shines in the world because the
dust of useless things is washed away, unless the knots of the
love and attachment are broken totally you can not experience the
difference between salvation and in unreal world.

``

ArticleNo108. Who is desire less can not be compared to.

18/89: How can you compare such a wise learned person with any
one who are always drowned in worldly pleasure, love, happiness and
all other attractions? One is totally contented in his heart and the other
one is always restless for one thing or the other. Desire of any kind,
be it of getting god or salvation is after all a desire. And desire is really
bad for any good thing even. Desire is desire after all we have to kill
this monster to move further to godliness. When the desires of all
sorts are dead then only you are liberated. It is above all and
incomparable

18/90:
Seeing but not seeing, speaking but not speaking, such a
person without any passion cannot be weighed against anything
except the passion less and desire less person, who else is to
feel speechless though speaking, blind though seeing and
knowing every thing but actually not knowing. He who has
renounced the present and future and is fully contented and
satisfied in life, he is happy in this world all over.

18/91­92 One who has forgotten good or bad, light or dark, worries
and pleasures, days and night, defeat and victory, he is now neutral
and nothing can disturb him. He is in peace. For him a beggar and
king are alike. He respects both. He cannot differentiate the right or
wrong. Both are alike to him. He is damn happy in himself and no
outer agency can please him. He is always and every where the same
like lotus leaf untouched by water or dust through always covered by
them.

This is the last emotion of a yogi where there is no difference between

bad &good. Astavakraji is emphasizing his philosophy to Janak is now
coming to an end his. So far he is preachy the freedom from everything in
the world to make a person neutral to all effects. Now he

``

wants to renounce the feelings of ‘I’ and ‘my’ and yours, we

should compare the differences between ourselves to feel free.
He wants to break the idea of not this, not that. In the end he
wants to tell that nothing is left and only the soul is the ultimate
end of everything and we should care for that only.
109 AWAKEN IS SELF CONTENTED AND hope less.
18/93: No body can talk about a learned person experience that is self
executed without any desire. The bliss he gets cannot be spoken by
tongue. He takes refuge in his soul and so he is contended and has no
more desires for anything. One who has reached and found rest in his
soul within and experience the lord Vishnu like peace in the surface of
the sea needs nothing. This is the ultimate arm of life. The real peace
is there and no where else. After reaching the stage he cannot share
his emotion with any one because either the other person is also there
and need nothing to know or the worldly person who is unable to know
all.
18/94: Every moment he is self contented though seen sleeping
but actually not sleeping, though awakened but not awake and not
seeing a dream too.
The fourth stage is turning stage when in laziness though sleeping but
is awake. The body is slept, the mind is also slept, but consciousness
is very much awake. Turning means as peaceful as it looks sleep and
similarly but he is as awake as in the day. A learned person walks in
the world quite slowly because he is careful on every step, he may not
take a wrong step and also what is the hurry? He is not to reach any
where when he is just walking that is all slow and fast moments do not
effects. Always be at peace and rest within. No restlessness in life. He
is the same in all places he may be here or there no difference. No
one is waiting for him, he is not to see anyone –so time and place are
neutral for him. He says –I am the same at all places always happy
and

``

peaceful. Time and place does not affect. He maintains that he is

only a witness and not a doer of any action.

Article No.110. Awaken one is always with and with

out. 18/95:
A learned wise man though away from senses, though with senses but
not sensual, though with wisdom but away from wisdom, though with
ego but ego­less, though with worries but not worried, is always
unaffected by anything, though he has got a body but feels body less
always. He simply exists but not realizing his existence. He has got all
the sense organs but always feels without them. Organs do not affect
him under any circumstances. He understands that all sense organs
are dead and wake only when sense force within wants then to wake,
there is some divine force within which makes the eyes to see, ears to
listen, nose to smell, touch to feel, and tongue to taste. In a dead body
all the organs are there but the person cannot see, can not hear, can
not smell and taste or touch. Why so? Because of the consciousness,
the main source has gone out of the body. The remaining dead body is
useless. But a learned person though very much alive but keep his
consciousness in control and does not allow the sense organs to react
as per the details of the mind. As such he is with the organs but
without organs functionally.
18/96­97:
The learned person is neither happy nor unhappy, neither attached
nor unattached, neither involved nor un­involved, neither this nor that.
He is neither with some one nor away from him. The real thing is the
soul. He knows what is real and what is unreal. He does not care for
the un­ real and cares for the real only. An ignorant person is always
in trouble because he thinks the unreal as real. A liberate is always
free because

``

he never thoughts that he is bound. He was free and he is free.

He never looks like a pundit but he is not learned. Though looks
crowded by problem but is not so. Many times people think a
person not quiet learned but he is. Because he is too simple in
appearance that people cannot judge him correctly.
Article No. 111. Awaken is always equal every where.
18/98:
A learned person is always balanced and peaceful because he
depends on destiny always. He never remembers the action done
or undone. A liberate person is healthy under all circumstances.
He is contented with works done or not done. Even if some actions
have been done unknowingly still he never thinks of them. He
never repents whatever circumstances he is, he is what he is and
is always happy, whatever unwanted emotions comes he accepts
gladly and is never disturbed. He is always in peace.
18/99:
He is neither happy with his praise nor angry with his criticism. He is
not afraid of death and he happily living life. He is the same in life and
death, both are same for him. He is not in favor of life or against death,
whatever comes he welcomes happily. He sees and faces both
happily. Astavakraji sounds again that you are not the body you are
the soul. Body is unreal, soul is real. Body dies soul is immortal. No
one can disturb soul. It is your desire which wanders here and there
after the death of your body, not soul. Remember.
18/100:
Finally Astavakra ji preaches that it is use less to run to forests. It is
equally useless to run in this world for something. Always maintain
peace and balance of mind whether you are in forest or in the world.
A

``

person who has peaceful mind does not go with the crowd of the
world nor does he go to forest. He is equal at all places and under
all emotions he is in peace within. Be aware if you are not happy at
your place you can never be happy at any place. One can be
happy at all places. Places do not matter it is you to know yourself.

Chapter no—19
Article No. 112. Operation is over.
Janak had expressed his anxiousness to Astavakra about the
essence of this life. He wanted to know the real knowledge about
this life. He simply wanted to know in brief but Astavakra
explained in detail and told him what ever he could. After getting
the details as explained in 18 chapters so far, Janak could
understand all that he wanted to know, without any yoga, prayer
and any chanting etc. He has got the knowledge of what he
wanted. Just by listening he got awaken nothing is to be done any
more now.
19/1:
By your basic wisdom and knowledge blessed to me, I have
renounced my all doubts. I got rid of all waves rising in my heart and
stomach and I feel very comfortable now. Janak says all the pains and
problems in my heart and stomach have been thrown out by your
words of wisdom.
Janak said that now I am completely liberated from so many
thoughts I had collected so far by different books and saints, all
doubts are crystal clear now. I am at peace within and do not
want any further knowledge.
19/2:
Janak is settled peacefully within his soul and does not want anything
through world, religion and salvation. Neither the wealth nor the
dualism exists any more in me. Now after this awakening when I see
the world –I see only one thing that I am on my throne and have
nothing to do. All illusions have disappeared? The religion, the
passions, desire and also the running after wealth. All have been
destroyed. I do not aspire for any outer enjoyment now when I have
got the real bliss without any senses and there outcome.
``

19/3:
For me there is no past or future now. Even present lost for me no
more illusion for this world or that world now. I am fixed and settled
in myself and do not run for anything any more. I am above time
and space. Nothing disturbs me now I am above every thing and
have learnt what I wanted to learn. I am satisfied completely and
nothing can move me from my stand.
19/4: WITNESSING HAS HAPPENED.
I am in my own now and so there is no worry, no good or bad and
no profit or loss. Soul or no soul, teacher or no teacher this idea is
no more with me. All strains of this and that have died in me.
There is no way of opposites in me and so I am peaceful.
19/5:
Now I have been fearless in all status of sleeping, dreaming or
walking. No fear, no disturbance at any time, at any place under any
circumstances. All are same forever. I am no more worried about four
stages given in books. Religion, wealth, Actions, and salvations
st
when 1 three stages have gone then the question of forth does not
arise. Janak says to Astavakra do not misguide now. When three stages
have died then fourth can not stay alive. For me all the four killed.

Astavakra says –Janak­you have passed in the test and you are
right now. The four disturbs the mind, when mind is away from
fear then nothing can disturb the mind. No mind and so no fear
and so no more disturbance of sleep, dreams and walking
stages.
Janak clarified all doubts of Astavakra by hinting that even if
he is dead even then I am only a witness. The guru accepted his
stage and success in life.
19/6,7:
``

Now I have realized myself what I am and hence no one is neither

near me nor is no one far off. Now there is no other one for me. After
realizing myself now I feel complete without any other support I am by
myself now I am fixed and settled in my own emotion and so no one
is near me and no one is away from. No one is inside me and no one
is outside. No one is temporary and no one is permanent. All are
unreal life and death, good or bad, rich or poor, strong and weak. I
exist for existence sake. That is all nothing more I have not to go in
something for any more. All ideas of this world and that world are
gone now.
19/8: I RESTED IN SOUL AND ALL GONE.
Having realized my existence as a soul –I am no more worried
about four stages given in books. Religion, wealth, Actions, and
salvations these do not exist for me now. I am zero where there is
no beginning or end. There is nothing inside and outside. Hence I
am complete. I have nothing to gain or nothing to lose. There may
be a crowd all along but for me it does not exist.
Janak now says that I am no more interested in any literature on
religion, wealth, Action and salvation etc for me they do not exist.
Every one is in search for some thing or other but Janak is no more
concerned with any thing. He does not aspire for salvation also.
Janak admits that he has got the reality. You said and I got it.
Since the outer knowledge and the inner knowledge are of no
use to me. Janak said the search has come to an end now.
``

CHAPTER­20
Article No. 113 In my face less form there is nothing.

Janak had a very small anxiety like a seed for the real meaning
of existence. Astavakraji made a tree of a seed explaining the
essence of life to Janak.
Janak is again summarizing the tree to a seed what Astavakra has
explained. Janak is also enclosing the conclusion which has become
the internal light for him. After reading janak’s statement, we will feel
as if he has repeated what Astavakra said. Why Janak is doing so? If
you go deep in to the seen you will feel that Janak has put his soul into
it. Now janak speaks in his own voice after listening Astavakra’s
preaching in this chapter the last chapter of Astavakra gita’s.
20/1:
Janak says –where is the body and the five elements used to make
this body. Where is the mind and where are the senses? Where that is
zero the ultimate stage where I have reached? As a blind man gets
eyes suddenly and gets surprised, similarly Janak is seeing himself
near the body but he feels he is not the body. He is near the mind but
actually he is far off from the mind. Actions took place but he could not
be acts though quite near them. Janak does not believe that he is near
every thing but still his body is unaffected. He faced so many
pleasures and worries in life but he is still neutral now without any
effect. His body and mind are blank as if nothing has happened to him.
He is like a lotus leaf in a lake. The body faced all activities but I am
not the body. Janak said if we understand that we all are not body’s
,we are consciousness then nothing can touch us –only bodies are
touched which are always dead without the help of consciousness.

``
 When Janak saw that all is zero then he left the zero also and
get away. He only became a witness and observer and so
detached himself from body, actions, mind and zero etc.1/20
WHERE THERE IS TWO­I AM NOT.
I am away from all ups and downs of life. When ever there are two
sides I am not there. When life and death, destruction and
construction, good or bad something exist I am not these. I am neither
man nor woman. That is all I am –I am nothing more. All waves are of
mind and brain. Soul does not have any arm, souls position is always
changeless and thoughtless. Janak emphases that he is out of
dualism of life. He sees simply both but not involved in anyone. I am
no thirstier for any thing the question of quenching the thirst does not
arise. When I am not hungry then how can I say I am full? When
desire is dead then all is dead when I do not want anything nothing
attracts me. I am neutral and peaceful.2/20

ARTICLE NO. 133 WHERE IS FACE?

NO FACE­NO SALVATION­NO BONDAGE.

A self enlightened person needs nothing like beauty, knowledge,
ignorance I, you and confusion. Nothing is required once you
have awaken your inner self all are dead for you. Slavery and
salvation are things of the world and they do not affect me.3/20
IN THE FACE LESS FORM THERE IS NOTHING.
Janak says that I do not have any specialty, any qualification for liberate
or witness, nothing exists in the world. All bookish knowledge and lectures
in the brand are of no use and effect for a liberate person. He is in himself
always and does not allow any outer thing to affect .Janak was having a
body but he was over and above the body. He never thought and worried
for it. It was just there .Janak though living in the

``
world but he was not at this entire world and he had achieved
salvation while alive.4/20
IT MUST BE SELF EXEPERIENCE OF KNOWLEDGE.
Astavakra must be very pleased to see that his disciple Janak is
totally changed. His purpose is solved. Everything was lost for
janak. No freedom, no slavery, no bondage, no ownership, no
dullness, no activity had any meaning for him. He was free from all
attachments whether position or negation.
Astavakra told janak –that your experience is true and not of the
teacher. Do not accept any thing unless you have tried yourself.
Apply on yourself the experience and see the result and then
believe.5/20
ARTICLE NO 114 ‘THERE IS NO TWO’
Since there is no more dualism in me, the question of this world or
that world does not arise. Neither there is wisdom nor bondage nor
salvation. Finally I am alone and that too away from this body. For
me every thing is over and so the desire of anything is not left. I
freely move in the world without any attachment in this life and
also after this life. Janak says that the idea of two is over for me. I
do not have any disturbance in my mind as I am I only. Janak
admits before his guru Astavakra that you have awakened me only
by your words. Simply hearing to your words –I am
transformed.6/20
The philosophy of devotion and devotee is dead now. Nothing is left to
be done as nothing is left to be achieved. Under the circumstances
Janak says that he does not see anything, if at all there is anything it
is only one and one only not two. The inside is blank and hence no
worry, no problem, no disturbance. Only peace and peace is left
within and I am happy internally and externally. I am not left to do
anything. I am

``
free without any affect on me for any side what else is required
now? Nothing – I got all I wanted to get.7/20
FOOL CLAIMS WISE NEVER CLAIM.
Janak says I am without any knowledge and also I do not wish
to get any knowledge. There is no knowledge and there is no
knower. A learned person does not feel any thing about himself.
He is empty all around. Nothing is inside and outside.
When there is one and one only then who knows, what to know,
how to know? In the last moment of the wisdom knowledge is also
finished. Whose wisdom gone he is wise. Whose knowledge gone
he is knowledgeable. Fools only claim that they are wise. Wise
man never claims.
Gautam Budha was silence when people asked him, God is
there? Budtha was silence. People announced that Budtha know
nothing, there for he is silence and dumb. Religious leaders of
our country have thrown Budtha out of country because they
have got the benefit of his silence.
Budtha was silence. He has not replied because he knows that what
ever the reply will be given that would be wrong. In the reply it self
there will be claim that I know. Say yes or say no. Where am I? Where
knowing? What is there to know? Such space less situation then only
Janak says where is some thing and where is any thing? Old all has
gone and new is so new that it can not be described in words. 8/20
I AM ACTIONLESS. ALL ACTIONS ARE OF HEART AND MIND.
When I am always action less then there is no concern, no
meditation, no pleasures, no worries, no foolishness and also no
knowledge for me to feel. Happiness and worries are products of the
mind and they do not affect the soul. All these worldly activities, ups
and down are no

``
more for me. They do not touch me internally. They may come and
go but I am not concerned. I am living in the sea but the waves do
not effect me. Waves do not touch me. They are all with in me.
Janak says – I am in the world but not of the world in any way “I do
not exist for the world and like wise the world also does not exist
for me, Nothing can disturb now? No one – I am above all. They
may come and pass by without any affect on me. 9­10/20
ALL IS ONE ­ NO YES OR NO FOR DIVINITY.
I am left with soul and so no more questions. No man in this world and
its creation affect me. For me they do not exist when the very existence is
denied that how they can affect me. I am away from the idea of soul or
premature. I am neutral. Nothing affects me now. janak is going to say
that there is nothing like guru and devotee in life. Janak again and again
feels that nothing is any more then why should I feel about them .What is
mine and what is not mine –I do not know whom to catch, whom to leave?
Whom to accept, whom to renounce, when there is nothing then my self.
Except me nothing exists. Everything belongs to one only and we all are
also one in whole. There is no difference between you, he, him and me.
One should understand this fact of life when all are the same, then all
problems are automatically solved, god resides in all living beings and all
living beings reside in god. Then where is the worry for anyone. It is our
understanding the real

truth to get rid of all worldly confusions. 11­12/20

Janak has reached where he wanted to reach. After reaching the final
stage of life he is not like this or like that. He is the same there is no way
for any thing. He does not want, does not aspire for anything. For him all
similarities are gone, like purity, impurity, richness, poorness, straight
and weakness, good or bad, proper or improper. Janak does

``
not want any more knowledge, any wisdom, any lecture, or any
guru or any disciple. Janak has reached the real stage of life
where nothing affects any more. 13/20
Divinity is oneness with the whole.
No more attest or thirst for Janak you may be god loving or not
loving, god fearing or not fearing it does not affect him. Living ones
and god are one. The problem is there where there are two. There is
no two. Finally Janak says that to say dualism or non­dualism is also
meaning less now I am nothing and do not want to be anything any
more.

There is nothing to say. Neither God is there nor god is not there.
So far Astavakra said one and oneness now Janak says: to say
one is also waste.
It is very wonderful. It means no wave rises now. All have become
complete or Zero. Now I have rested in supreme peace. This can
happen with you also. It needs your co­operation. It all depends on
you.
I would like to tell you a small story. There was a saint very old
and famous. People were coming from far away to ask some
thing or other but that saint always maintained his silence. Some
time he writes few lines on the sand when some one asks a lot.
Contented is always happy.
Don’t run away, awake.

Do not think, loose and get. Small ­ small sentence like that only.
People were not satisfied with that. They wanted the reply in detail.
They were not able to understand that why he is not giving the reply
of their questions in a proper manner. So many wise persons came
and gone but that saint was just smiling and writing the same old
words,

``
Contented is always happy. Awake­ do not run away. Loose
yourself and get it. No one could make him ready to speak.
But there was some thing in him which attracts the people from all
around. One day it has happened that one young man came and
snatched the bar from his hand. There was no eagerness in his eyes
even. He was not eager to ask any thing. He was very peaceful.

He was also silence like that saint. He has written on the sand that
how your light would destroy my darkness? Saint written in his reply.
What is darkness? Where is darkness? Are you lost in darkness?
That young man just hesitated and again written, whether to be lost is
actually lost. That saint peeped in the eyes of that young man with
love and affection and written on the sand, no. To be lost is not
actually lost. You have just forgotten. Remembrance has lost nothing
else. So far lot of people gathered there. No one was able to
understand. All started laughing. People could not understand what he
has written. Saint quickly cleared all that and written again, which
desire brought you here? Young man wrote­ desire – what desire? I
have no desire. There is no desire left within me. After reading this
saint just jumped up on his feet, raised his right leg and thrown it on
the ground three times. Then he closed his eyes and stood like a
stone for some time, breathless. There was silence all over. Public
was also standstill silently. That young man could not understand any
thing. He forgot that he has taken oath to be speechless and he has
spoken, what you have done and why? Saint laughed away and
written again on the sand – desire to know is also a shape of desire.
Young man screamed I have heard that there is a great verse
renouncing which man could be one with whole and I know that is with
you. I am seeing ­ I am hearing the sound of that.

``

163
Saint has written very fast that is you only. That verse is you only. Are
you differ from divinity even for a moment? Saint has suddenly raised
his bar and struck it on the head of the young man. Stars moved all
around the eyes of that young man but he has emerged in some deep
happiness and pleasant situation that he spent lot of hours in that
situation. The day was over, the young man was happy within. After
three days that old saint forgot that he was to be silence. Silence was
broken and he said after all you returned to home.

Young man said nothing and with out speaking, peeping in the
eyes of the old saint he wrote on the sand, only the
remembrance came back. 14/20

 RAJA JANAK’S SPRITUAL KNOWLEGDE
We all know RajaJanak was a great scholar but what was his
spiritual knowledge that we don’t know. Let us know that:­

( A ) Divorce the body and rest in consciousness.

It is a revolution from the very roots. If you can see the fact, that I
am not body, I am not doer. I AM ONE HIDDEN WITHIN WHO
SEE ALL. I am always one and the same within.
I am the one eternal and everlasting. There is nothing to do.
You are itching to do something, that itch needs to be satisfied.
If it itches, it can not be left unscratched.
Where are you running in search of God? Stop; and relax. God is not
attained by running. It is hidden with in the runner in search. God is not
attained by doing; nothing needs to be done to attain the divine.
Just relax, be the observer that is all. 1.4

(B) Pain, pleasure and religion all are illusion.

Oh expensive one, religion and atheism, happiness and misery,
all are of the heart and mind. They are not for you. You are
neither doer nor enjoyer. You are always in liberation. 6

Just understand it and changes will take place within. There is

nothing to do except to understand. If you can listen thoroughly
with your whole mind, it is enough.

Nothing is going to happen by doing. You do not have to extract

any thing by doing. Be enlightened this very moment. You are
the witness of whole world, unattached and with out form. Know
this and be happy.

``

2
There is no need to wait. It is a leap. There is no need to climb up
step by step. It can happen right now. It will happen this very
moment or otherwise it will never happen, if you left it for tomorrow.

If you allow Astavakra his statements will penetrate in to your heart

like an arrow. Awakening will happen automatically.

Listening means you are not doing. It happens while you are
listening. It is not an act. It is happening.

A yogi is also not desire less because he seeks new spiritual

pleasure. He is not different. He still has the desire to enjoy. He could
not find it in the world so he searches in the divinity but the search is
continued. As long as there is some thing to do, tension continues.
You have done lot of running, at least you should stop now. You have
searched enough, at least now you drop the search.
Relaxation is the key to meditation. Efforts are the key to tension.

No one can awake up you but you can awaken your self. Awaken the
pure consciousness with in. Look at the things as an on looker; don’t
think, because thinking means processes of the mind have started.

Astavakra is a messenger of conscious and witnessing ­ just

watching. If there is un­happiness, just observe it. If there is
happiness, just observe it. Let both come and go. Do not let
them overpower you. Be identified with only one thing that you
are the observer, you are the witness.

``

3
( C ) There is no other
one.
Astavakra said; you are one observer of all and always free.
You are presuming some one else as observer. Actually you
are also a observer.7

How much do you know about your ‘self’? If you want to know your
‘self’ you will have to stop looking in the eyes of others. If you want to
know your self (soul), you have to leave people behind.
Generally people live for the crowd and people die for the
crowd. What other say become very important for you.

You are the observer.

A spectator is one whose eyes are on others
Observer is one whose eyes are on him self.
To be a spectator is one kind of ‘self’ forgetting?
Very rare some one awakens to see within.
When a persons is free from doing, he has no desire to exhibit
him self. He knows the trap of seeing and showing is false.

He attains non attachment and freedom from all kind of desires.

If you wish people to think you virtuous then better you
understand that you are still caught in the same old web.
If you wish people know you are religious you are still caught
in the same old web.
I have heard there was a milliner who built his bath room with
mirrors. He put mirror after mirror inside the bath room and once
his dog was left inside by mistake. You can understand dog’s
condition. He was seeing his face in the mirror and thinking some
one else (dog) he was barking on him, scratching on the mirror. It
is the same with man’s condition.

The dog barked but there was only mirror after mirror. Echo returned
back. He barked all night and chased the mirror, scratched on the
mirror and bathed in his own blood. No one else was there. Dog
was found dead in the morning. There were blood stains all
over the place.
His story is the story of man. There is no other one. Other one
does not exist.
Here is only one in all of us but this will not be understood by you
until and unless you caught hold of “one” with in you. You are the
one observer of all.
Your bondage is that in you see some one else as the observer.

Liberation is to know our ‘self’ as observer. You try this experiment.

You are looking a tree. Then gradually, continuing to look at the tree
and try to see some one else who is looking at the tree­ just a little
difference. Generally arrow of consciousness move towards the tree.
Let this arrow move in both directions. It should see tree and at the
same time try to see some one who is looking. Do not forget the
observer. Catch the observer more and more. You will miss it again
and again, try to catch the one who observe and as the observer
comes in to your grip. Do it again, if this will happen to you for few
moments this will change your whole life.
Experience is not of sense organs but of some one who is
hidden behind sense organs.

Second Chapter 5
 (A) LIGHT YOUR OWN LAMP AND MOVE ON YOUR OWN PATH.

You have been caught in the bondage of perceiving yourself as

body. Cut this Bondage with sword of knowledge and say I AM
Soul –I AM OBSERVER I AM AWARWNESS and be happy.
14/1

You believe that I am body. This is wrong. You are not body. This
is our misperception. This is our habit and we have believed it so
deeply that we became body. We become what we believe.
Our belief is our world and the moment we drop the belief we can
immediately feel Changes and to drop the belief, nothing is to be
changed. Only the idea of being Body is to be dropped.

IN REALTY WE ARE HIDDEN INSIDE THE BODY AS

CONSCIOUSNESS, THE WITNESS, AND THE OBSERVER. Raise the
sword of awareness and chop away the idea that I am the body.

All sufferings are of body and there is no identification with the

soul for all the pains of the Body. As you are thinking like­ vise
consequences comes in.

. Astavakra says: ­ you know your being, mental projections will

automatically quiet. Mental projection arises because the being
is not known.

``

(B) You are no sinner. Sins can not even touch you.
You are alone, void of action, self illuminated and innocent.
Your bondage is this that you practice Samadhi.15/1
Maditation can not be practiced because meditation means mental
projections. Mental projection arises because the “being” is not known.
When you are doing meditation you become doer. You are nor doer.

Trying to do meditation is like entering a dark house and trying to

fight with darkness. Do not try to get rid of darkness. The actual
situation is reverse; the presence of light is the absence of
darkness. Light a lamp and darkness disappears by it self.
Actually darkness does not exist; it is the absence of light.

You are alone. No one is your companion. The body is not your
companion, the breath is not your companion and thoughts are
not your companion. Husband, wife, family, friends, beloved
One, none are your companion. Neither they are born with you nor
will they go with you.
No union can be made with any one with in. There for
Bhagwan Srikrishna has said in Geeta I never die. I am
beyond death.
You are alone, void of action. Do not raise the question of your Karma’s.

If you asks Astavakra ,’ one can be liberated right now then what will
happen to the fruits of our past Karma;s. Astavakra will say, you have
never done that. Out of vital energy life may have done some thing .
Out of own needs the mind may have done some thing. You have never
done any thing. You always stand separate, in non doing position. Doing
has never happened through you. You are the observer of all action.

Consider it, in this way; ­ if we have to destroy the whole web of past
Karma’s, we can never do so. It is impossible. We have done so many

``

7
acts over infinite births and if we have to be released from all
these past Karma’s then the release will take an infinite time,
And during that infinite life time you won’t be sitting idle. You will be doing
some thing, some good and some bad Karma’s. So Karma’s will again be
done and will be accumulated. THIS CHAIN WILL BE ENDLESS. This
chain will never finish. It will never come to An end and you will never be
liberated. Astavakra says if you have to be liberated you have to Become
free from all the past karma’s other wise liberation can never happen.
Actually you are Free if you can see with in.
Existence of liberation is the proof that being has never done any
thing. You are neither a sinner nor saint. You are not virtuous. There is
no hell any where, there is no heaven. You have never done any
thing. You are thinking that you are doing. It is your belief that you are
doing, actually You are just sleeping in the body and the bodies are
doing. Those bodies that did those things are gone long ago. How can
the fruits of their actions be your. You were just sleeping within.
The mind acted, the mind that acted disappeared with that
body. No sins belong to you. You are sinless. No sin can touch
you. YOU JUST AWAKE UP. BY AWAKENING, you will find
you have never done any thing.
You are self illuminated and innocent. Have you
heard this proclamation? You are innocent.
THROUGH AWAY WHAT PUNDITS, PUJARI’S AND MAHATMA’S
HAVE TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU ARE THE SINNER. You are not the
sinner. You are innocent. Their teachings has made you sinner. They
have taught you a thousand ways that you are bad, you are sinner. They
filled you with guilt’s. Actually you are innocent. You have committed
No sins what so ever.
Your bondage is this that you practice Samadhi. You are making
efforts for Samadhi to bring fruits for liberation to happen. That is
also a one kind of greed. This is your bondage. Raise sword of
awareness and sever it in to pieces.

( C ) Say: ­ You are divine. Aham Brahmasmi.
You (soul) are spreading the whole world. You are thread in it. Do not become
small minded. YOU ARE PURE CONSCIOUSNESS BY ATURE.16/1

You are involved with, house is mine; money is mine, my business,

my son, Small things the mind gets involved in. Why to make small
claims. Make a great proclamation. Say I am pure consciousness.
Make the divine proclamation. WHY BE SATISFIED WITH ANY
THING LESS. Whole universe is yours. As Like Krisna say, there is
nothing in the world which I do not posses. SriKrisha has proclaimed that
I am god. You also proclaim the same. Astavakra say. WHAT EVER WE
PROCLAIM ­ WE BECOME THE SAME. Try to under Stand you are not
different from Krisna, just you have to open your eyes and see that you
are God, then you are the god. If you consider your self small then you
are small. Your belief, Your proclamation is your life. You want to see god
in stone but not in your ‘self’, what a hilarious and funny thing.

(1) I am no sinner.
JANAK SAID; ­ WONDERFULL; I AM PURE. I AM PEACE. I AM
AWARENESS. I AM INNOSENCE. I HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY
ILLUSION ALL THE TIME. ½
Janak experienced, which had never been experienced before?
He heard what he had never heard before. Ego makes every one
proud but a person who is egoless is like an empty pot.
Janak must have been like an empty pot. Wonderful and awe
full, he immediately awaken.
He heard it and awakened. It is very difficult to find a person like
Janak who awaken with little hint as if he was just waiting.
Majority of the people are there to whom you try to awaken again
and again but you can not awake them. They hear you but they
do not listen. They under stand but draw their own meaning which
suits to them. .
They have vested interest in misunderstanding the things. They
have to give up their old belief if they understand.
Astavakra says; you are pure, nothing sticks you. As soon as Janak heard
it the rays reached to his very depths, piercing straight like an arrow.

AMAZING; WHAT ARE YOU SAYING. I am pure and flaw less, I am

peace, I am awareness. I am beyond nature. I have been fooled by all
this. Janak was shocked. What he heard. He had never heard. What he
saw in Astavakra, he had never seen before. Some Thing wonder full was
revealed. JANAK WAS WONDER STRUCK. AMAZING, NOW I BECOME
AWARE
THAT NOTHING CAN STICK TO ME.
TRUTH IS UNBELIEVABLE ­ WE HAVE BELIEVED THE LIE­FALSEHOOD SO LONG.
We have always considered guilty and the priest has always
said that we are sinner. The pundits and priests have always
preached that we should wash away our sins.
No one has ever said you are innocent, that your innocence is
such that there is no way to destroy it. Those million sins can not
make you a sinner.

``

10
All the sins you have done are dreams. Just awake up and all
sins will go to dust been.
NEITHER PUNYA NOR PAP IS YOURS. THE VERY DOING IS NOT
YOURS.
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DOER. YOU ARE OBSERVER. YOU ARE
WITNESS.

JANAK SAID IN WONDER; ­ I AM PURE; I AM PEACE; I AM

FLAWLESS; AMAZING……………. SO FAR I KNOWN ONLY TURMOIL.

Janak said; amazing. I am pure and not only this, you are telling
me, I am not body,
I am not the mind; I am not that which is being seen.
I AM ALWAYS BEYOND THE EXTERNAL WORLD.
It is to be understood thoroughly that what ever we see are not we.
What ever we see are not we. What so ever come in experience
are not we? Because what ever we see, we are beyond that.
Eyes are seeing but I am behind the eyes, which is seeing. What
so ever becomes my experience, I am beyond that, because I am
the observer of the experience, how can I be the experience.
Hence I am not the body.

In Bhagvat geeta Sri Krishna also says the same but in different
way. Srikrishna describes about the soul in the body. Body is
coming and going but soul is everlasting. Bodies are changed,
like we are changing the clothes but soul is ever lasting.
Janak simply received what ever Astavkra said. Janak did not
raise any question. Janak Said, you shocked me, you awakened
me. There is nothing to ask. Janak began to experience.
You can also do the same but it seems impossible to you. It
happened so fast. It seems to us that it should have taken some
time. We are very surprised; it happen so quickly.1/2

13. Renouncing the body ­ I see divinity.

AMAZING, HAVING RENOUNCED BODY AND THE WORLD, NOW
THROUGH YOURS TEACHING I SEE ONLY THE DIVINE. 3/2
It is wonder full, my body is no more and with the body, whole
world disappeared.
RENUNCIATION IS NOT TO BE DONE. IT IS A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

There is a story to open your eyes again. There was a king having
only one son and that Son was seriously sick lying on his death bed.
The physician had given up the hopes, saying we can not do any
thing, he can die any moment. It is a matter of just two three days.
The father stays awake all night sitting on his bed side. Tears were
following from his eyes. Sitting and sitting, at about three am in the
morning, the father began to doze. While he slept, he dreamed a
great empire over which he was lord. He had twelve sons; all were
very handsome, young, talented, intelligent and great fighters.
He was having this dream when the son breathed his last.
His wife screamed and started crying.
He opened his eyes. He was completely shocked. He sat there dumb
founded because just a moment before there was twelve sons. They
all gone and here this son had died. He was completely bewildered.
His wife worried whether his mind was damaged, because he had
Great affection with his son and not a single tear was coming to
his eyes. His wife shook him And said, has some thing
happened to you. Why don’t you cry?
He said, for whom I should cry. There were twelve sons a minute
before, they all died. Should I cry for them or should I cry for this
son. I wonder who I should cry for. Just as twelve sons have
gone, thirteen have gone. Every thing has finished he said.
That was a dream and this too is a dream. When I was
seeing the dream, it was real for me

``

12
at that moment. I had completely forgotten this son. When the
dream broke I remembered you all.
Now both dreams have gone. Now I have awakened from day
dreaming. It is enough, now I won’t be roaming about in the
dreams of the world. The time has come to understand,
Neither this is the true nor that was true. Now I have awakened.
Let go happened.
JANAK HAS NOT MOVED AN ENCH BUT JANAK SAYS, AMAZING. LET
GO
HAPPENED.
Renunciation happened through under standing and piercing
in the heart straight like an arrow.
Amazing, now through the skill of your teaching, having renounced
the body and the world, what skill is it, hardly a leaf is shaken and
the awakening has happened. The world is no longer is being
seen. My whole vision is changed. Now I am seeing the divine. I
will live but now I will live like a guest. I will work but now no worry
catches me. You stay where you are; there is no need to flee to
Himalya. Sanyas is not escaping.

Amazing am I, I bow down to my self. When the whole

world shall parish from Brahma to very blade of grass. I
shall not parish. I am eternal. 11/2
Do you see how wonder full this statement is. I bow down to my
self. Certainly this is not Janak’s statement. This is an
expression of the ultimate happening that has taken place.
All will be destroyed. I will not. All are born and all will die. I am
not born. I will not die. Srikrishna has also said the same thing.
Soul never born and soul never die.
I am amazed. I am in awe. I watch them being created and I watch
them being destroyed. They are all events.

13 THIRD CHAPTER
Astavakra taught the real truth to Janak: such was the effect
of his teachings Janak started reflecting immediately.
Janak said:­Oh wonderful. I was sleeping so far. Now by your
teachings I have awakened.

Astavakra was just listening what happened to janak. Astavakra

was watching. Now Astavakra is questioning janak: ­ what ever
you are saying, are you saying so in my influence? Have you
experienced it or you are confused by my teachings?

17. After knowing the immortal soul, are you

still interested in money, power and position?
Astavakra Asked janak:­By knowing soul is one and immortal. Are
you still interested in earning wealth? Janak had not left the
palace and not renounced the wealth.1/3
Janak is still as it is. Astavakra has put up a question to janak that Hey
Janak you are announcing that the soul is one and immortal. You are
declaring the oneness of divinity and even after this declaration are
you still interested in money. Are you interested in throne, palace,
position etc? Astavakra asked a question to Janak. Janak; when you
have recognized the oneness of divinity, you have come to know that
you yourself is divine then can you run after money even now? You
just search within that money, power, position and greed are there or
not. If there is desire for money power position, then what ever you are
saying is all waste and if you do not find the desire of money power
position within then you understand that some thing has happened
other wise nothing has happened. Hence you once again introspect

``

14

your self and see if there is any interest to get any thing or any
desire left within. You just answer me this.
It is a major happening happened to janak but Astavakra wants to
check it up that some thing has happened actually. As janak had
said time and again wonderful, astonishing. I am my self divine?
How foolish I was? I was indulged in what kind of madness.

DESIRE OF SALVATION IS ALSO A DESIRE

No one is to be compared to a great­soul whose mind is free from desire

and who is self satisfied in self­knowledge? 3.12

One who is satisfied with self realization and who had no

desire of salvation even cannot be compared to any one.
One can not compare to some one who is not interested in
salvation. Who is self contented. Who does not want any thing? He
says I am happy as I am. Is it not enough? I want nothing. I know
myself. I got every thing. Such person cannot be compared with any
one. So hey Janak do you desire salvation? Have you any desire to
be free?

As you are saying that you have experienced the oneness of divinity, is it
enough? Do you want any thing more? If the god comes in front of you
and say janak tell me what you want, you ask any thing I am ready to give
you. Would you have any thing to demand .Would you like to beg some
thing from god or would you be able to say no thanks I do not want
anything. Will you be able to say so without any hesitation? Your mind will
not say if god wants to give why you are refusing let us beg something.
God himself is saying you can have whatever you like so at that moment
will you spread your begging bowl in front of god, will you

``

15

ask some thing from god, Astavakra is saying all this so that janak
could judge himself properly.
Who know this universe is like a dream and it is actually nothing. How
can he see this is to gain and this is to renounce. Astavakra says now
Hey janak look; I have said that a knowledge person will never be
interested in money, power and position etc because of my teaching
do you think to renounce the kingdom and palace. Is their any
question with in you that if it is so then I am ready to renounce all this
because wise man does not desire all these. So I should leave all and
go to Himalaya. If you are thinking like this then you are not the wise
person because wise person neither desire for gaining nor desire for
renouncing. Now I am asking you there may not be any desire for
enjoyment but their may be some desire to renounce because desire
to renounce is also the same face of enjoyment. Enjoyment is saying
grab renouncement is saying leave but mind is set on.

Money, power, position, enjoyment, every one want to get

more and more but one thing is clear that neither the grabber
is satisfied nor the denouncer is satisfied. Because the
enjoyer wants more enjoyment and denouncer also
supposed to do more renouncing. Both are looking at more.
In the race of more and more only stands illusion. Denouncer
says I have renounced but much more to be renounced. Run
for renouncement is going on. Durvassa is supposed to leave
anger and Vishwamitra is supposed to get rid of his pride.
Even Bhagawan Parshuram is supposed to leave anger.
Actually the wise person is one who does not desire to grab
and does not desire to renounce.
Astavakra is not giving any place to janak to run away. So far there
was retraction on enjoyment. There was place for janak to run.

``

16
Now Astavakra says a wise person don’t do all this, there
was place for Janak to say if it is so, I am ready to leave all.

The door was still open till now for janak. Now that door is also
closed by Astavakra. Now there is no place to run. Now the place
is only for awakening. Now he has to accept truth. If it has
happened it has happened if it is not happened, not happened.
Wise person never say that gold is sand he says gold is gold and
sand is sand but both are use less. As like enjoyment is a doing,
like wise renouncing is also a doing, and astavakra teaching is
this that no doer, no enjoyment, no renouncing. Only observer,
only witnessing because renouncement is also a doing and
enjoyment is also a doing. In both you become doer. Being the
doer it creates the pride of doer ship. You just become witness.
Just observe the happening standing for away from body.
One who has left the desire and hopes he has washed away his
inner dust. One who is not affected by getting anything luckily
and unluckily? And one who becomes neither happy nor
unhappy.14.3

Who is not hopeful that it should be like this or like that?

For a man who is desire less and who is with out hope he
has no tomorrow. His tomorrow is vanished.
Astavakra says janak just you look within you judge yourself
on all these matters. If you find out all is okay then what ever
you have said is okay if you are compromising on all these
then you take back your words. You don’t believe just by
listening me. You awaken yourself.
In real my awakening cannot be your awakening my light
cannot be your light my eyes will work for me and your eyes
will work for you. I walk on my legs you walk on your legs.
You need your eyes. You need your light. You just recognize
properly. You do not be influenced by me. Don’t fall on to

``

17 CHAPTER NO :06
Article No. 28. I am like the sky and sea.
THESE VERSES OF JANAK’S ARE STRANGE: It seems
ASTAVAKRA had gone deep in JANAK’S heart. These words spoken
through JANAK are as ASTAVAKRA wanted the reply of JANAK is the
same. He expressed that, he is like the sky and this world is like a pot
created by nature. This world created by nature is identified as a pot
made by pot maker. This is the wisdom. Therefore neither there is
renouncing nor acceptance nor dissolution within. 1/6

JANAK expressed quite revolutionary thoughts here. I am like a

sky and this world is like a pot which is created and destroyed
again and again. The sky is not affected by all this. JANAK says
that he is like the sky. This is the knowledge. Which knowledge
you are talking about to get? I have already got it.

JANAK says; ­ there is no enjoyment, no renouncement, no

salvations, and no dissolution. I am like a sea and the world is like
waves in the sea. This is the knowledge. Hence there is no
renouncement and no dissolution. JANAK said, guru dev don’t try
to confuse me. you cannot confuse me now. Actually you have
awakened me and temptation is of no use now.

Now you are giving me temptation that I should know this and be
liberated. I am already liberated. I was liberated at that moment
when you said: you just be liberated. You are saying to awake
the desire again. Leave it, now I will not come in this temptation.
Janak certainly awakened. He says this world though seems separate
from me but it is not separate. The sea waves are product of the sea.
Waves may come and go but sea remains. I know that I am the

``

18

sea and its products can’t affect me. This is the only knowledge. I
am unaffected by outer things and I am as I am, nothing to get
and nothing to leave, all are with in. Where is salvation and where
is liberation. I am already liberated.2­3/6
I am in all and all are in me, question does not arise for gaining or
renouncing. This knowledge is above all. JANAK asked to whom
are you teaching that we should remain the same in pain and
pleasure. when Janak said these four small verses. Astavakra
was very happy. Astavkra tried to pull Janak up to the last, last
temptation was given for renouncement and knowledge.
Renouncement and knowledge these two are the last barriers who
crossed over these two he is liberated one.4/6

CHAPTER NO:7
World and salvation both waves arising within.
Whether the waves rise or die on the surface of sea it
makes no difference to sea.

JANAK says thousands of thoughts rises in the heart but they

do not affect me within.
Water does not stay on the surface of lotus leaves; similarly
these thoughts do not affect me. These are the product of mind.
Soul is with in and it does not allow any idea or events to effect
me, may be happiness, worries, love, hate, anger or compassion.
These waves rise in by nature and they move here& there and
subside when no Importance given to them.

JANAK says that the world and salvation both are waves which
I observe. I have nothing to do. I simply see the drama which is
being played by nature. I don’t choose. There is no morality
and no destination. I am happy as I am.

JANAK said: ­ some time anger comes, some time greed comes
and some time lust comes all comes and goes, I am going on
seeing all. I am not concerned. I have no desire to be like this or
that. I am happy as I am. I don’t want to change any thing. 1/7

7/2 all kind of waves arises and destroys but within is not affected.
I am not gaining or loosing any thing. What ever is happening is
happening; let it happen I am not concerned. THERE IS
NOTHING TO CHOOSE. Janak says. What ever is happening I
am just seeing. Nothing will change by my doing.

``

20

Astavakra says:­ When you have got the knowledge you renounce
all. Now you leave the pride of body and get the salvation.

Janak says this body, wealth and this kingdom is not mine which I
should renounce, I have never catch hold of these things which I
should leave. This has happened and will be lost, because of all
this I am not affected. It is the actual renouncement.2.7
I AM only a consciousness and the world is like an Indrajal which is
fake and unreal. What so ever happen happens by nature? There is
nothing to accept or reject. Now all these imaginations are waste. This
is awareness, when you under stand that there is nothing as good or
bad, and there is nothing to choose and nothing to renounce. I am
witness. Where should imagine; Now I have left all these
imaginations. This is the awakening, this is the experience.

Enjoyer and denouncer both are choosing, enjoyer chooses to

enjoy and denouncer chooses to renounce. Denouncer feels if he
renounce he will be happy. Actually one who says I am happy he is
a saint.
Happiness would not come from some where it is already there.
Knowing himself is happiness. There is no happiness in
renouncing. When you are active in actions you are in illusion. As
soon as you become witness, all vanishes. Astavkra principle
essence is that you don’t desire you just become witness and
when you are going on trying to change things you are going on
creating new problems. These are the reactions of so many births
you would not be able to change them. 5­6.7

Article No.32 Desire to live and enjoy never ends.

People desire to live, enjoy the things and to acquire the things,
which never comes to an end. If you see this world carefully you will
not have any interest in it. Who has recognized the uselessness of
life; he will have no desire to live such a life. His desire will
disappear.

When some one lucky looks life properly he become free

from the desire to live, desire to enjoy and desire to know.9/2

9/3. Some one who is lucky enough will see the reality of life and
he will say I have seen all this, there is nothing in it. It is use less
and waste, after experiencing this he attain peace. After realizing
with his own experience that all are use less and worthless he
attain peace. He will be free from the desire for life, desire to enjoy
or desire to get and he attain peace.

9/4. As you are certain that this world is useless peace begets
within. What will be that moment and what will be that position
when duality will not affect you?

You are to neglect them and be satisfied what you have got. You
will be happy. ASTAVAKRA is saying. Who is contented with what
ever he has got. What ever is available in the present that is
sufficient then there will be no run, then there will be no desire,
then there will be only peace.
9/5. There are so many religions; there are so many yogis and
maharishi, which have their different views. What is the use of all this.
Who will be such a fool who will not understand this small thing and
get in peace? What is the use to fall in so many religions? What is the
use to hear the so many religious leaders, to whom you will hear he
will

22

attract you, every one has his own arguments. They have
dedicated so many lives to create these religions. Certainly these
yogi’s­ and Maharshi’s were very knowledgeable.
A wise person never indulges in religions. Don’t go for
HINDUS, MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANITY, Jainism and Buddhism.
Because one thing is certain that there is no truth in religions
otherwise there must not be so many religions. There must be one
religion only.

Truth is one and one only. Look at this and neglecting all the
religion, one can get the peace. 9/5 As Lord Srikrishna says:­
Sarv Dharman Paritayaj Mamekam Sharanam Varj.

33 Your Guru is with in you.

Person by neglecting every thing and getting in equanimity by his
own qualification, who cross the worldly river, is not a guru himself?
6.9
ASTAVAKRA is saying Guru is within you. If you can understand
you can find your guru with in yourself. It is the last duty of Guru to
give the disciple freedom from him self. This is the last work to do
by Guru for disciple and the disciple should get rid of hisGuru. It
has been seen that disciples are so bonded to his Guru they forget
the actual cause to make Guru and start to sing the song of his

master and it happens that master himself becomes your
bondage.
