In the eyes of the Ashtavakra, one's true identity, the Self, is not contained in objects, nor does any object exist in It.

It is without form and can be found by simply recognising one's being as the Witness Self. Everything else is an illusion

The "little" self, as in our perceived personality and identity, the world, the universe. All these things arise with the thought "I", the idea of separate identity. This little "I" invents the material world, which in our ignorance we falsely identify with and desperately cling to and strive to sustain and maintain

Forgetting our original Oneness, our unity, our light of consciousness, we cling tightly in our imaginary separateness, and we spend our lives controlled by the input of our five senses, when in truth all the five senses arise OUT of the eternal self.

Our true nature is pure and choiceless Awareness.

We are already and always fulfilled.

We are already and always complete.

When you know this, desire melts away because that is the nature of HAVING.

Clinging to nothing, you become still.

Ashtavakra Gita a, advaitic masterpiece, without pretense it comes out with the advaitic truth, the whole truth and nothing but advaita which is the Truth. Non duality. Unity. Oneness.

There is no time involved at all in Self-Knowledge, because it is not something external, something somewhere faraway where you can go and get it, it is always with you. All that is necessary is to surrender yourself completely. In truth, surrender and Self-enquiry are the only two ways to Self-Realisation.
