CHAPTER VI<br />
AH! DESTINATION AT LAST<br />
(State of <strong>the</strong> Self-Realised)<br />
The Natural state of Samadhi (Sahaja<br />
Samadhi) in which an enlightened person<br />
(Jeevan Mukta) remains and how he conducts<br />
himself in practical life has been described in<br />
various Vedantic texts like Jeevanmukta Gita,<br />
Bhagavad Gita, Viveka Chudamani etc., but<br />
nowhere it is so all-comprehensive, elaborate<br />
and set in beautiful expressions of poetic<br />
grandeur as in Ashtavakra Gita.<br />
The qualities and nature of a Jivanmukta<br />
have not been enumerated with a view to<br />
enabling us to judge whe<strong>the</strong>r or not ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
person is enlightened. It is never possible to<br />
have an acid test to find out whe<strong>the</strong>r ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
person is a Jevan mukta or not. The attributes<br />
mentioned are meant as a check-lis for selfassessment<br />
in order to verify whe<strong>the</strong>r oneself<br />
has reached <strong>the</strong> state of enlightenment or not.
