ASHTAVAKRA GITA : THE SONG OF ASHTAVAKRA 

17.6 He feels no desire for the elimination of all this, nor anger at its continuing, so the lucky man lives happily with whatever means of sustenance presents itself.

17.7 Thus fulfilled through this knowledge, contented and with the thinking mind emptied, he lives happily just seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting.

17.8 In him for whom the ocean of samsara has dried up, there is neither attachment or aversion. His gaze is vacant, his behaviour purposeless, and his senses inactive.

17.9 Surely the supreme state is everywhere for the liberated mind. He is neither awake or asleep, and neither opens or closes his eyes.

17.10 The liberated man is resplendent everywhere, free from all desires. Everywhere he appears self-possessed and pure of heart.
