Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 " The Master shines... Who can compare with him? Indifferent to everything, he is happy and he is free. ....In his view of things Good and evil have melted away. A king or a beggar, Whoever is free from the world, shines! He is utterly without guile. He has found his way. He is simplicity itself. He cares nothing for restraint, or abandon. He has no interest in finding the truth. ....His sorrows are over. How can anyone tell what he feels inside? ....Step by step, whatever befalls him, He is happy. He thinks without thinking. He feels without feeling. He is intelligent but he has no mind. He has personality, But with no thoughts for himself. He is not happy, nor is he sad. He is not detached, nor is he bound. He is not free, nor does he seek freedom. He is not this, He is not that. ....Foolish, He is not a fool. Knowing everything, He knows nothing. He always lives within. He is everywhere the same. Action or duty are nothing to him. ....He never worries about what he has done, Or has not done. Blame does not disturb him, nor does praise delight him. He neither rejoices in life, nor fears death. His mind is calm. Never seeking the solitude of the forest, nor running from the crowd. Always and everywhere, He is one and the same. ****************** [excerpts from] Ashtavakra Gita, Chap 18:V88-100 -T.
