Ashtavakra Gita
1. Theworldcallsmemad.
I am mad. You are mad. The world is mad. Who is not mad? Still these madmen call me mad. Some are mad after name and fame. Some are mad after money.
Some are mad after flesh.
But blessed is he who is mad after God. Such a madman am I.
2. Evenifyouhavenothing,
It is hard to find that contentment Which comes from renunciation. I accept nothing.
I reject nothing.
And I am happy.
3. Twofromone!
This is the root of suffering. Only perceive
That I am one without two, Pure awareness, pure joy, And all the world is false. There is no other remedy!
4. FirstIgaveupaction, Then idle words,
And lastly thought itself. Now I am here.
Ridding my mind of distraction, Single-pointed,
I shut out sounds and all the senses, And I am here.
