<strong>Ashtavakra</strong> said:<br />

5.1<br />

You are immaculate,<br />

touched by nothing.<br />

What is there to renounce?<br />

The mind is complex—let it go.<br />

Know the peace of dissolution.<br />

5.2<br />

The universe arises from you<br />

like foam from the sea.<br />

Know yourself as One.<br />

Enter the peace of dissolution.<br />

5: Four Ways to Dissolution<br />

5.3<br />

Like an imagined snake in a rope<br />

the universe appears to exist<br />

in the immaculate Self<br />

but does not.<br />

Seeing this you know: “There is nothing to dissolve.”<br />

5.4<br />

You are perfect, changeless,<br />

through misery and happiness,<br />

hope and despair,<br />

life and death.<br />

This is the state of dissolution.
