ASHTAVAKRA GITA : THE SONG OF ASHTAVAKRA 

1.6 You are the one witness of everything, and are always totally free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness as something other than this.

1.7 Since you have been bitten by the black snake of the self-opinion that I am the doer, drink the nectar of faith in the fact that I am not the doer, and be happy.

1.8 Burn down the forest of ignorance with the fire of the understanding that I am the one pure awareness, and be happy and free from distress.

1.9 That in which all this appears-imagined like the snake in a rope, that joy, supreme joy and awareness is what you are, so be happy.

1.10 If one thinks of oneself as free, one is free, and if one thinks of oneself as bound, one is bound. Here this saying is true, "Thinking makes it so".
