On Ashatavakra Gita: What is the state of the liberated one?
The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.
शून्या दृष्टिर्वृथा चेष्टा विकलानीन्द्रियाणि च ।
न स्पृहा न विरक्तिर्वा क्षीणसंसारसागरे ॥ 17.९ ॥
śūnyā dṛṣṭirvṛthā ceṣṭā vikalānīndriyāṇi ca
na spṛhā na viraktirvā kṣīṇasaṃsārasāgare || 17.9 ||
In him for whom the ocean of samsara (world) has dried up, there is neither attachment nor aversion. His gaze is vacant, his behavior purposeless, and his senses inactive.
~ Ashatavakra Gita, Chapter 17, Verse 9
✥ ✥ ✥
न जागर्ति न निद्राति नोन्मीलति न मीलति ।
अहो परदशा काऽपि वर्तते मुक्तचेतसः ॥ 17.१० ॥
na jāgarti na nidrāti nonmīlati na mīlati
aho paradaśā kā’pi vartate muktacetasaḥ || 17.10 ||
