Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Dear Friends in Ramana, King Janaka continued: 16. Oh, duality is the root of misery. There is no other remedy for it except the realisation that all objects of experience are false and that I am one and pure, intelligence and bliss. 17. I am pure intelligence. Through ignorance I have imposed limitation (upon myself). Constantly reflecting in this way, I am abiding in the Absolute. 18. I have neither bondage nor freedom. The illusion having lost its support has ceased. Oh, the universe, though existing in me does not in reality so exist. 19. I have known for certain that the body and the universe are nothing and that the Atman is only pure intelligence. So, on which now can superimposition be possible! to be continued chapter II, p. 36-39, verses 16-19 Ashtavakra Gita translation by Swamy Nityaswarupananda of Ramakrishnamission 1934 edition Ramanashramam 2001 Om Shiva Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
