103 Аштавакра-гита 14

A verse-by-verse contemplation of the Ashtavakra Gita, "The True Knower." The chapter is not a description of a special realized person and not a prescription for how to live; it is a description of your own nature when the mind is no longer identifying you as a thing in the world. Liberation here is not superhuman invulnerability but simply the end of yearning and the seeing through your role as a person. https://untangle-your-mind.com/ Live Satsangs are free to join.
