Atman – Immutable, Pure Consciousness and Non-Dual

कूटस्थं बोधमद्वैत-मात्मानं परिभावय।
आभासोऽहं भ्रमं मुक्त्वा भावं बाह्यमथान्तरम्॥१-१३॥

Ashtavakra Samhita Chapter 1 Verse 13

Giving up modifications of the soul both internal and external and becoming free from the delusion. I am the reflected soul, think deeply of the ATMAN, as immutable, pure consciousness and non-dual.

कृतं न कति जन्मानि कायेन मनसा गिरा।
दुःखमायासदं कर्म तदद्याप्युपरम्यताम्॥१०- ८॥

Ashtavakra Samhita Chapter 10 Verse 8

For many many previous births, you have been performing hard and unpleasant duties and work, with your body, mind, and speech. Therefore, take a pause and reflect, at least today (in this birth).

अष्टावक्र उवाच -भावाभावविकारश्च स्वभावादिति निश्चयी।
निर्विकारो गतक्लेशः सुखेनैवोपशाम्यति॥११- १॥

Ashtavakra Samhita Chapter 11 Verse 1

The changes and modifications in the forms of existence and destruction are the basic nature of things. The person, who has realised this, easily enjoys, Peace and Calmness. He is no more disturbed and worried. He becomes free from sufferings.

न मुक्तो विषयद्वेष्टा न वा विषयलोलुपः।
असंसक्तमना नित्यं प्राप्ताप्राप्तमुपाश्नुते॥१७- १७॥

Ashtavakra Samhita Chapter 17 Verse 17

The liberated (God realized) being neither shuns the sense objects nor craves for them. He always has a mind with inner detachment and experiences all these as they come to him.

May God and Guru Bless, Guide, Protect and Inspire each one of us and the Whole Universe.
