Ashtavakra Gita 11.8: Wisdom, Chapter 11, Verse 8
नानाश्चर्यमिदं विश्वं न किञ्चिदिति निश्चयी ।
निर्वासनः स्फूर्तिमात्रो न किञ्चिदिव शाम्यति ॥ ११-८॥
nānāścaryamidaṃ viśvaṃ na kiñciditi niścayī .
nirvāsanaḥ sphūrtimātro na kiñcidiva śāmyati .. 11-8..
दुनिया में बहुत तरह के चमत्कार हैं, लेकिन सच में कुछ भी नहीं है। यह बात जिसे पता है, वो सारे विचारों से आज़ाद हो जाता है। बस चमकता हुआ खुद रहता है। ऐसे ही शांत रहता है जैसे कुछ है ही नहीं।
