Ashtavakra says: I am
infinite like space, and this world is unimportant like a jar. This is
Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced nor to be accepted but to be one
with it. 1
I am like a vast ocean and
the visible world is like its waves. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be
renounced nor to be accepted but to be one with it. 2
This world is imagined in me
like silver in a seashell. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced
nor to be accepted but to be one with it. 3
I exist in everyone like
everyone is in me. This is Knowledge. This is neither to be renounced nor to be
accepted but to be one with it. 4
