Ashtavakra said:

How can there be cessation of thought for the misguided
who is striving for it. Yet it is there always naturally for the
wise man delighting in himself. 18.41

Some think that something exists, and others that nothing does.
Rare is the man who does not think either, and is thereby
free from distraction. 18.42

Those of weak intelligence think of themselves as pure nonduality,
but because of their delusion do not really know this, and
so remain unfulfilled all their lives. 18.43

The mind of the man seeking liberation can find no resting place within,
but the mind of the liberated man is always free from desire
by the very fact of being without a resting place. 18.44

Seeing the tigers of the senses, the frightened refuge-seekers at
once enter the cave in search of cessation of thought
and one-pointedness. 18.45

Seeing the desireless lion, the elephants of the senses silently
run away, or, if that is impossible, serve him like courtiers. 18.46

The man who is free from doubts and whose mind is free does
not bother about means of liberation. Whether seeing, hearing,
feeling, smelling, or tasting, he lives at ease. 18.47

He whose mind is pure and undistracted from just hearing of
the Truth does not see anything to do or anything to avoid or
even a cause for indifference. 18.48

The upright person does whatever presents itself to be done,
good or bad, for his actions are like those of a child. 18.49

By inner freedom one attains happiness, by inner freedom one
reaches the Supreme, by inner freedom one comes to
absence of thought, by inner freedom to the Ultimate State. 18.50
