Ashtavakra Gita Verses 14-3 To 14-4

14.3 “I have realized the Supreme Self, the Witness, the One I am indifferent to bondage and freedom. I have no need for liberation” 14.4 “The inner condition of one who is devoid of doubt yet moves among creatures of illusion can only be known by those like him” What is realisation What is awakening If there remains doubt or hesitation In conclusions arising from our contemplation Then we are still searching There being a gap in our so connecting Our consciousness with supreme awareness Blockages impeding full flow of Divine fragrance After the initial witnessing or experiencing There is a long road in consolidating & assimilating The knowing Not quite the becoming As long as the current is intermittent We are short of full enlightenment And whilst the glimpses are encouraging We need to surrender fully to cognise the Supreme all pervading The symptoms manifest may yet be as stated as unseeking We may be content in the Divine stream within us flowing Yet to be truthful can we affirm the validity Of being connected to the Source in an unbroken continuity Being detached and desireless is an orientation laudable But to say that we are free of doubt is a concept laughable So whilst we patiently & trustingly await our blossoming We are humble in confessing that we are still unseekingly seeking 13-December-2020
