He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him,
He lives in happiness.
For he is truly blessed.
-Ashtavakra 22.When you live without discrimination,
Desire arises.
When desire persists,
Feelings of preference arise,
Of liking and disliking.
They are the root and branches of the world.
-Ashtavakra Gita 16:7
23.Seeing to this, Neglecting that...
But when the mind stops setting One thing against another,
It no longer craves pleasure.
It no longer cares for wealth
Or religious duties or salvation.
Craving the pleasures of the senses, You suffer attachment.
Disdaining them,
You learn detachment.
But if you desire nothing,
And disdain nothing,
Neither attachment nor detachment bind you.
-Astavakra Gita 16:5-6 307
