10.7 Prosperity, pleasure, pious deeds… Enough! In the dreary forest of the world the mind finds no rest. 10.8 For how many lifetimes have you done hard and painful labor with body, mind and speech? It is time to stop.
<strong>Ashtavakra</strong> said: 11.1 Existence, non-existence, change-- this is the nature of things. Realizing this, stillness, serenity and bliss naturally follow. 11.2 One who knows for certain that “Self creates All and is alone” becomes still, desireless, unattached. 11.3 One who knows for certain that adversity and success come and go in obedience to destiny becomes content. He neither desires nor grieves. 11: Wisdom 11.4 One who knows for certain that birth and death, happiness and misery, come and go in obedience to destiny sees nothing to accomplish. He engages in non-action, and in action remains unattached. 11.5 One who has realized that only by caring is misery caused in the world becomes free, happy, serene, desireless. 11.6 “I am not the body, nor is the body my possession— I am Awareness itself.” One who realizes this for certain has no memory of things done or left undone. There is only the Absolute.
