ASHTAVAKRA GITA : THE SONG OF ASHTAVAKRA 

2.21 I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am not a living being. I am consciousness. It was my thirst for living that was my bondage.

2.22 Truly it is in the limitless ocean of myself, that stimulated by the colorful waves of the worlds everything suddenly arises in the wind of consciousness.

2.23 It is in the limitless ocean of myself, that the wind of thought subsides, and the trader-like living beings' world bark is wrecked by lack of goods.

2.24 How wonderful it is that in the limitless ocean of myself the waves of living beings arise, collide, play and disappear, according to their natures.

2.25 Ashtavakra said: Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure in acquiring wealth?
