Oh seeker, pause and listen,
To the whispers of the ancient Ashtavakra Gita’s vision. A timeless scripture, serene and profound,Where the wisdom of silence and truth abound.
Born of a dialogue, pure and divine,
Between King Janaka and a sage sublime.
Ashtavakra, the voice of boundless grace,
Guides the soul to its eternal space.
“Not the body, nor the mind you are,
But the infinite Self, shining like a star.
Detach from illusion, let the ego fall,
In the stillness of being, you’ll embrace it all.”
The Gita speaks of freedom, unbound and vast,Unveiling the Self, beyond future and past.It shatters the chains of worldly desire, igniting the soul with transcendent fire.
“Be as the witness, calm and aware,
Unmoved by joy, untouched by despair.
The world is but a fleeting dream,
Dive into the depths, where the Truth redeems.”
No ritual nor scripture, it demands,
Just the courage to let go, and understand.
Beyond duality, beyond what’s seen,
Rests the Self, eternal and serene.
Oh restless soul, why seek in the dust,
When within you lies the treasure you trust?
The Ashtavakra Gita, a beacon so bright,
Guides the lost to the ultimate light.
In its verses, a melody of liberation rings, as the heart soars on spiritual wings.
Shed the veils of illusion, let the Self unfold, discover a beauty more precious than gold.
For he who sees through the eyes of the sage, Finds eternal peace in life’s fleeting stage. A sacred text, a soul’s retreat,
The Ashtavakra Gita, where truth and freedom meet.
