Vasishtha
III.11.5. (This world) was neither
born nor is subject to destruction. That which does
not indeed exist in the beginning, of what sort
could be its birth? What need now say of the word
"destruction"?
* * *
III.13.40. Nothing whatever is
accomplished, nothing is born and nothing is perceived.
There is neither falsity nor reality. This is some
indescribable unborn entity which is spread.
* * *
III.67.68. There is the destruction
of the perceptions from Brahma (the Creator-god)
to a worm, on account of right knowledge.
* * *
III.100.42. The delusion of bondage,
liberation and the like does not exist even a little
for a wise person. Rama! Delusion, bondage, liberation
and the like exist only for the ignorant.
* * *
III.114.23. The mind is bound on
account of firm idea, "I am not Brahman ".
* * *
VI/1.95.3. How could Brahman, the
Absolute Reality, which is not a doer, action or
instrument, which is causeless, without a seed,
and not fit to be discussed or understood, become
a creator (of the world)?
Ashtavakra
Gita
II.25. How wonderful it is that
in the Infinite Ocean of myself, the waves of living
beings arise, collide, play and disappear, in accordance
with their nature.
* * *
III.3. Having known yourself to
be That in which the universe appears like waves
on the sea, why do you run about like a miserable
being?
* * *
III.4. After hearing of oneself
as pure consciousness and the supremely beautiful,
is one to go on lusting after sordid sexual objects?
* * *
III.5. When the sage has realized
that he himself is in all beings, and all beings
are in him, it is astonishing that the sense of
individuality should be able to continue.
* * *
VI.3. I am like the mother of pearl
and the illusion of the universe is like the silver;
this is knowledge. So it has neither to be renounced
nor accepted nor destroyed.
* * *
VI.4. I am indeed in all beings,
and all beings are in me. This is knowledge. So
it has neither to be renounced nor accepted nor
destroyed. |
