Chapter
5
Ashtavakra
You
are not bound by anything. What does a
pure person like you need to renounce?
Putting the complex organism to rest, you
can go to your rest. 5.1
All
this arises out of you, like a bubble out
of the sea. Knowing yourself like this to
be but one, you can go to your rest. 5.2
In
spite of being in front of your eyes, all
this, being insubstantial, does not exist
in you, spotless as you are. It is an
appearance like the snake in a rope, so
you can go to your rest. 5.3
Equal
in pain and in pleasure, equal in hope and
in disappointment, equal in life and in
death, and complete as you are, you can go
to your rest. 5.4
