Chapter Six


Ashtavakra said:

1.  I am infinite like space.  The phenomenal world is like a jar.  This is true cognition.  The world has neither to be renounced, accepted, nor negated.

2.  I am like the Ocean in which the worlds are the waves. This is true Fnowledge, and renunciation, achievement, or negation have no place in it.

3.  I am like mother-of-pearl, and the imagined world is like the illusory silver in it.  This is true Knowledge, which does not admit of renunciation, achievement, or negation.

4.  I am in all things, and all beings abide in me.  This is true Knowledge, which does not admit of renunciation, achievement, or negation.
