Ashtavakra Gita 18.69: Peace, Chapter 18, Verse 69
महदादि जगद्द्वैतं नाममात्रविजृम्भितम् ।
विहाय शुद्धबोधस्य किं कृत्यमवशिष्यते ॥ १८-६९॥
mahadādi jagaddvaitaṃ nāmamātravijṛmbhitam .
vihāya śuddhabodhasya kiṃ kṛtyamavaśiṣyate .. 18-69..
यह दुनिया जो दिखती है, यह बस नाम है। असली में कुछ भी नहीं। सच्ची सोच वाला इंसान इसे छोड़ देता है। उसके बाद बचता क्या है? कोई करना भी नहीं बचता।
