Ashtavakra said:

While a man of pure intelligence may achieve the goal by the most
casual of instruction, another may seek knowledge all his life and
still remain bewildered. 15.1

Liberation is distaste for the objects of the senses. Bondage is love
of the senses. This is knowledge. Now do as you wish. 15.2

This awareness of the truth makes an eloquent, clever and energetic
man dumb, stupid and lazy, so it is avoided by those
whose aim is enjoyment. 15.3

You are not the body, nor is the body yours, nor are you the
doer of actions or the reaper of their consequences. You are
eternally pure consciousness, the witness, in need of nothing --
so live happily. 15.4

Desire and anger are objects of the mind, but the mind is not
yours, nor ever has been. You are choiceless awareness itself
and unchanging -- so live happily. 15.5

Recognising oneself in all beings, and all beings in oneself, be happy,
free from the sense of responsibility and free from preoccupation
with "me." 15.6

Your nature is the consciousness, in which the whole world wells up,
like waves in the sea. That is what you are, without any doubt,
so be free of disturbance. 15.7

Have faith, my son, have faith. Don't let yourself be deluded in this.
You are yourself the Lord, whose very nature is knowledge, and you
are beyond natural causation. 15.8

The body invested with the senses stands still, and comes and goes.
You yourself neither come nor go, so why bother about them? 15.9

Let the body last to the end of the Age, or let it come to an end
right now. What have you gained or lost, who consist of
pure consciousness? 15.10
