ASHTAVAKRA GITA : THE SONG OF ASHTAVAKRA 

15.11 My son, you consist of pure consciousness, and the world is not separate from you. So who is to accept or reject it, and how, and why?

15.12 How can there be either birth, karma or responsibility in that one unchanging, peaceful, unblemished and infinite consciousness which is you?

15.13 Whatever you see, it is you alone manifest in it. How could bracelets, armlets and anklets be different from the gold?

15.14 Giving up such distinctions as This is what I am, and I am not that, recognize that Everything is myself, and be without distinction and happy.

15.15 It is through your ignorance that all this exists. In reality you alone exist. Apart from you there is no one within or beyond samsara.
