Hindu Books > Hindu Scriptures > Ashtavakra Gita - The Song Of Ashtavakra > Chapter 13

1 - 7

13.1 Sometimes one experiences distress because of one's body, sometimes because of one's tongue, and sometimes because of one's mind. Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal of human existence.

13.2 Recognising that in reality no action is ever committed, I live as I please, just doing what presents itself to be done.

13.3 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.

13.4 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.

13.5 I lose nothing by sleeping and gain nothing by effort, so consequently I live as I please, abandoning loss and success.

13.6 Frequently observing the drawbacks of such things as pleasant objects, I live as I please, abandoning the pleasant and unpleasant.

13.7 Janaka said: He who by nature is empty minded, and who thinks of things only unintentionally, is freed from deliberate remembering like one awakened from a dream.
