Astavakra Samhita - 5

[Guest guest]

Translation by Thomas Byrom

---------------------------

 

Chapter 5 - Dissolving

 

 

1 You are pure.

Nothing touches you.

What is there to renounce?

 

Let it all go,

The body and the mind.

 

Let yourself dissolve.

 

2 Like bubbles in the sea,

All the worlds arise in you.

 

Know you are the Self.

Know you are one.

 

Let yourself dissolve.

 

3 You see the world.

But like the snake in the rope,

It is not really there.

 

You are pure.

 

Let yourself dissolve.

 

4 You are one and the same

In joy and sorrow,

Hope and despair,

Life and death.

 

You are already fulfilled.

Let yourself dissolve.
