धर्मार्थकाममोक्षेषु जीविते मरणे तथा।
Ashtavakra Samhita Chapter 17 Verse 6
कस्याप्युदारचित्तस्य हेयोपादेयता न हि॥१७- ६॥
dharmārthakāmamokṣeṣu jīvite maraṇe tathā ।
kasyāpyudāracittasya heyopādeyatā na hi ॥ 17-6॥
The broad-minded enlightened person has neither attraction for, nor repulsion for Dharma (duties and rituals), Artha (worldly prosperity), Kama (desires and cravings), and Mokshya (liberation). Also neither attraction nor repulsion for life or for death. Such a Spiritual Seeker is rare to be found. A person, who is self-realized, has a different value System than a worldly oriented person. The Self-realized person has realized his oneness with the soul, which is formless, deathless, beyond the qualities of nature, beyond time and space, and relativity (Maya). So the concept of body, mind, intellect, ego, life, death has no meaning for him. He is his own Non-dual Self, SAT, CHIT, ANANDA
