Ashtavakra Gita/Ashtavakreeyam – Chapter
- 19
Chapter -19 – Athma Vishranthyashtakam
King Janaka speaks “Oh! Guro, I have removed
the sharp thorns of the misconception that stuck in my heart, with the
Thaththvajjyana/supreme knowledge of all-pervasive Bhramam resides as the soul is
eternal and changeless, Oh! Guro, I have
understood the splendor of supreme Bhramam resides as a soul in living beings, so
I am free from Dharma and Kama, Arththa and Viveka, Dhvaitha, and Adhvaitha. Oh!
Guro, my mind and intellect is wedged in the all-pervasive supreme Bhramam,
therefore I am beyond the past, present and future, zone and time. Oh! Guro, my
mind and intellect is already wedged in the splendor of that supreme Bhramam,
therefore I am beyond that Athman or Anathman, Shubha or Ashubha, thoughts or
absence of thoughts. Oh! Guro, my mind and intellect is already wedged in that
supreme Bhramam, hence I am beyond that Swapna, Jagrath, Sushupthi, and Thuriya
state. I am independent and free from fear. Oh! Guro, my mind and intellect is
already wedged in the splendor of supreme Bhramam, hence I do not find any difference
in nearness or distant, Sthoola or Sookshma, inner or outer concept. Oh! Guro, my mind and intellect is already
wedged in the splendor of that supreme Bhramam, hence I am beyond the concept
of death, life, worldly matters, Universe, the deluge of Universe, or Samadhi. Oh! Guro, my mind and intellect is already
merged in the splendor of supreme Bhramam, hence what shall I do with the
knowledge of Thrivarga/Dharma, Arththa, Kamam, or Yoga and Gnana?”
